was bluetooth at the expense of the printer to the point in 30 minutes. on d, w, the business day, the we news line from berlin and south korea's ruling parties as president you and so hill is dangerous and must leave office. and the defense ministry assures the country will not obey any new order from the president to reimpose martial law. also coming on the rebel forces in syria and or the city of hama, after pushing out government troops as the 2nd major city to fall ramping up, pressure on president pressure bar. awesome. and french president,

the monument cost lambs, the opposition for toppling the government. and 5th, he will not result the welcome to the program. i'm nicole for lease. we started in south korea. we're military, prosecutors have filed a request to ban 10 top ranking officers from leaving the country. the defense ministry says the request is connected to president young, so gills, hours long and position of martial law on tuesday, the move by union has plunged the country into political turmoil was even the leader of his own party calling for his suspension. thousands have taken to the streets to call for his resignation, and even bigger protests are expected over the weekend. so let's bring it inside the and crash where he is. and so i'll be on a south korean rights group claims that president unit might be preparing to

declare martial law. again, what can you tell us? yeah, so i don't know if you would try to do so if you would try a 2nd attempt. but what i can assure you is that this attempt would have to 0 chance of success. there's no way that he could pull it off white and already during his 1st attempt of declaring martial law, it did not really what they are. the best key evidence that he didn't have full control over the military that many soldiers were not obeying very diligently. i mean, just the fact that he wanted to shut off the parliamentary building, the national assembly, but still at 190 politicians managed to enter the building in a tuesday night and managed to make a vote forcing a president doing so. going to retreat from the marshal, i think that tells you all. and now we even have a defense minister who would clearly stated publicly stated that you would not

follow any such orders if he was asked to impose the muscle again. and then of course you have been public that has a very a look. you have a vivid media landscape which is very, very a lot. so i don't see any way that a 2nd motto law could be successful. it's only you mentioned public discontent. the leader of use own party as also said that he should be suspended, and lawmakers are investigating him for treason. how much more pressure can you take? yeah, that's really the crucial question. so he's clearly with the back against the wall and from a rational perspective, a probably a pro actively stepping down would be a vice decision. i mean, many experts tell me there's no way that you can, so you all could politically survive this fiasco. and as you mentioned, not even his own pocket is supporting him anymore. the pocky at head of the ruling party said that to you once you're suspended once his presidential power is suspended. and then of course, the public by law is also supporting an impeachment against you. and so if your so

what, what, what, what does he think? and when i talk to people who know him personally or who have met them in private settings, they say that he might fight until the end that he is very politically isolated that he's also basically collapsed under the immense pressure that you experience as a politician in south korea, i mean he, he has never been a politician for a long. he was basically a prosecute to. and then of course his mindset, my interpretation is also that he's to some, what also paranoid, i mean, what he talked about the threat from north korea. this all doesn't really make sense if you talk to the expert, so i would say to some degree, he lost a little bit to touch with reality. and impeachment vote has been announced for tomorrow. is there any way he could survive that? so the impeachment vote tomorrow has a high chance that will pass because at the opposition which is clearly supporting

this impeachment motion, they will vote in favor of it and then do only needs 8 more or 9 more parliamentarians from a youth on potty who would also support that bill and i think this is very likely to happen. but then what happens next is that the case will be refer to the press, the q to end up with an impeachment. what happened on upload, nothing beside it uh in a day or 2. it will take at least 3 months. that's what the experts tell me. so, um, i guess if he wants to fight that you go back to put drink on at least a for a couple of weeks possible. also that the several months probably, and craftsmen, journalists, and sole things, owing grant speaking to you is this rebels and syria are heading towards the central city of homes, as they sees more territory from government forces. but it's circulating on social media, appears to show them advancing towards hong this, which is serious. 3rd largest city. they've already taken the cities of

a level and hama sends launching their surprise offensive. earlier this week, capturing homes would bring them a step closer to seizing the capital damascus journalist barrel one result joins as now from the city of commercially, in northeastern syria. so great to see. thank you for joining us on d. w today. no, h t s is leading the rebels. what do they say about their end game here? thank you. so let's go back to the, to the of them. how about giovanni interview and cnn? so according to up with some of gilani, the militant leader of the main to blue driving of the countries ermine. a position and to enter the name of s d. s. at the goal of the to get her younger re both co, ultimately to over throw authorizing president special ed. do you hear me? this is my voice clear?

yes. yeah. we can hear you. okay, let me save and he's interviewed and he was showed like his operating lease like wanted man and the more like it put addition and to allow me you said he had gone through episode of transformation through the years. he said the person in the twenty's will have a different personality than someone in their thirty's or forty's, and certainly someone in their fifties, this is the humidity or the human nature. actually. i thought, i think he's, he's giving the best picture of himself and he's just define himself because he was in the past member of the, um, it's allow me to state the issue. yes or not a new player in this conflict. they're trying to sell a more moderate picture to the syrian people. what can you tell us about how people in the captured territories feel about the group you mean

into captured and the capture, the 2 or 3? yeah, yes. yeah. i actually be a people and the scene is complicated because when you talk to some people you can find that they are um you can feel that they have relief and joy from from their um and their speaking about um the about 30 bills and um you can see some people who are afraid and who are worried about the error, strict and some, some others are the are afraid and feels here from the ices to come back to the scene once again. and what's may be exactly coming from the review. yes. so uh, so you can find a people who are very enjoy and the may, 24 and feel like before and the really to their comes and some are very afraid of

their coming to a, to the top to add 2 or 3. and you say expert, let's talk about the minority. that's um yeah, yeah. because they might feel different. yeah. oh, yeah. i, i asked for the, the media office of the df announced that there are, there is about 10100000 people who are truck in a row in chicago region. they are truck there and they are coached actually they want to, to move and to, to the, to go back to and to the ne, your yet, but their truck, they can not. and the rubles didn't lift them to the, to, to get out of the show how about region. and also there are a lot of people who, who try from the ne syria workshop and stop in, in the region of how much of hans and the damascus, they're afraid of rebuilt to the, to,

into damascus. as well as during those barrels under so income, easily inferior. thanks. i, let's take a look now at how the syrian conflict got to this point and how long are both the situation inside and outside the country. leads of leader shar, i'll start a new wave of violence is exploding in syria. the front lines of the war had been frozen since 2020 leading president assad as a defacto vic to but now the conflict is threatening to re nights in a well that has changed some of the questioning the strength of his position. and whether he's capable of defeating the rebels, aside has maintained an eye in grip on power. since taking over from his father after his death in $22011.00, during the out of spring,

he crushed pro democracy protests starting single position for years to come. throughout the close of the civil war that followed, he showed himself willing to use brutal force on his own population. he allegedly carried out a chemical weapons attack and 2013. that kills more than $200.00 people, including children on a pulse of damascus, held by rebels. something he's consistently denied. but by any measure aside has presided over a catastrophe in syria. under his watch, an estimated 500000 people who have been killed in the war, a 1000000 small, the false to flee or displaced. and despite the propaganda, more than half a 3 and people are facing food shortages and the economy is in free full. yet he retains the support of parts of the population, especially minority groups such as all the whites and christians who see his

secularism as it passed in against the extremist buying to take over the country. he has also derives trends from his international allies, iran. it's proxies. the militant group has paula russia. all have played a pivotal role in keeping him in power and securing military victories. but all of these act as i now distracted all weekend in some way, making its own clear aside will be able to count on the same level of assistance and future data. some also points out that the ease with which the rebels were able to advance could mean the syrian all mean is not as strong as a side would like. and could also add to his vulnerability and determine the future of his regime. a stick a little deeper on the bigger picture as our stucco house joins us. she's the middle east expert with the highlights, bro foundation. she's in berlin's. uh let's start with the latest work is just

confirm talks with russia and run over sarah and dough on saturday. do you think talks can achieve anything? thank you for having me. we're seeing that the rebels have been advancing quickly in the past 24 hours. as it was mentioned, iran and russia are much weaker than in the past when they came to the age of the assets and his regime. so there's limited capacity from this. i personally, i would not count on these talks coming in time and needing to meaningful results. in any case, we will hope for the textbook, the talks and negotiations for civilian transition and for return to the un resolution. $2254.00 and a level and hama. and now the rebels are reportedly heading towards homes. how big are these to feats not only for a size but also his allies, russia,

and are on they're pretty big. um, the culture of drama was quite important yesterday is how much is the for the biggest city in syria now homes as seen as a turning point homes as a traffic help in syria that connects the muskets to its coast to coast is important for the trade and that's where the russian naval bases are. interestingly enough of the people from homes are running towards the coast rather than towards damascus. which gives us an indication of the outlook that the people have on the ground um towards um, the stability of the muskets. absolutely, you've been observing the situation 0 for quite some time. of course, what does past experience tell us about how aside and his allies might respond as well? that's where another saffir um of assyrians is coming from because the responses have been very source in the past. 90 percent of the tests and the serial war are

caused by our side and it's an ice, russia and, and this has been a half a 1000000 people. more than half a 1000000 people were killed in syria and noticed that every saw the minister of defense of, of syria say that they withdrew south of how to protect civilians and to prevent the potential inside the city. so considering that i've never done much to protect civilians, that's quite an ironic statement. um, also after seeing how they left an echo on friday without any um, situation, orders that i'm aware of. so do think they're just themselves trying to get out of harm's way. the syrian armies and the desolate states. um they will do this on my level so they would regroup on to defend, not able to. again, i think the next days will be quite important to watch. the un secretary general

says the escalation, syria is the result of a chronic collective failure of diplomacy. now, in your opinion, what would be the next move for those who really want to see a political solution in syria and for civilians to live in peace? finally, it is time to bring all actors back to the negotiation table. the political process has been quite sidelined in the past years was no meaningful progress. and starting by the regime, it is time to get back to this younger solution. $2254.00 to push for political transition and also to put pressure through the phone with an informal channels that exist to h t as to push for us to begin transition into areas under control and for the protection of minorities. sarasota house. thank you so much, i so thank you. let's take

a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. today. protestors and the brazilian city of south palo have rallied against police brutality after videos of alleged misconduct emerge. an officer was arrested after the release of footage, showing him throwing a man off a bridge into a river. demonstrators, a black and impoverished people are being targeted by officers. australia as prime minister has blamed anti semitism for an arson attack at the melbourne synagogue. anthony albany sees that it was aimed at causing spear the fire caused extensive damage. police are searching for to suspect. there's been a rise in targeted attacks in australia since the war in gaza broke out. french president emanuel mccaul has given a defiant television address day after his prime minister lost a storage no confidence vote. my home said he would appoint a new premier within days and vowed to serve out the rest of his term. he lived the

far right and the far left for toppling the minority government. this presidency manual met, crowns of france, has no prime minister. it has no government, no budget for 2025, which starts in less than a monte. cronum told the french people who don't blame him, is witnessed whom i will never assume the responsibility of others. and in particular of the parliamentarians who consciously chose to bring down the budget and the government for august a few days before christmas. if it denied many on the streets of paris and 200 other french cities and towns beg to differ civil servants late into the former governments. 2025 budget plan meant to rein in a growing deficit with spending cuts and tax increases. everyone needs to take responsibility to the release of the main person responsible for what's happening to us. so i'm very happy about what's happening to him. he has to realize that he's not the only boss in front of the world,

managing firms together. that deficits and inflation that the government itself provides. now we are asking civil servants send to people generally to soak up to death. and that's just not possible public demonstrators expect present it to the crone to nominate another right, leading government, or keeping up their push for more investment in the public sector. they know that this one much community marine left pen of the far right national rally party probably has more say than anyone in the next budget to kind. she was unimpressed with center as president the crowns. last choice, delete his government, the right leaning michel, barn. ya sums up a pretty cheek before we have to look at what people do and not just look at their label by saying who's right waiting. so i don't think he does this good. so no, everything he does has not been good. yeah, most likely the chrome says la pens, national rally, lawmakers voted against even their own platform and a bunch of debates sufficiently at home simply by doing so they chose chaos,

and that's the only project they share with the radical left along this with the support of the rest of the lines not to do but to undo to re cavity maple this is for created, this old french media have reported macros next. prime minister will likely come from a short list of centrist candidates who might appeal to both sides of the political spectrum. kill reveal his choice in coming days as give talking about this with the best. tell me. yeah, he's a special advisor to the jack, the lower institute thing tank and a former journalist who joins us today from london. good to see you. now with all the pressure president, my call is facing, how likely is need to stay in power until the end of his term in 2027 as he has promised to? well yeah, he was very clear on that the left evening and he, i think you're right. he did so because personally he has a constitutional his side legally. there is nothing the national assembly can do to

talk to him unless you come in. so some kind of murder, but otherwise, i mean the, the, you can not the french president, so that's really up to him. and he's being elected until 2027. that she has to be minded. also if he was to let this uh, uh, the baby, the insane, i think the financial markets will get very nervous and we would see the interest rates for southern boss a hiking. and also if he was to step golf course, that will be the biggest political gibbs he could give to the pan or to meet on shore, which of course he has no interest in doing it with also just fuel more political crisis and, and be to the benefit to update streams in the moment, wherever it's operating fee. so he needs to come for the name of prime minister and rather than to then step down, let's talk about that 1st task at hand. that of appointing a new prime minister. do we have any indication on who might be next in line of

this as the beta or consultations go on there this morning, he is meeting the heads of the different political groups. he has a long shift to do is call somebody who heads the centrist to parties with then i think he signed twice is today in the head of the cabinet of a mac. so we travel to the pier in a city of, of a mr. bible we're going forward to meeting so they are so luminous about about getting because he both can be appealing for the, the socialist party. that would come back to that, but also not be the media center before for the, for the right wing. and even for liberating the way, we're not to dismiss couple of him right away. so he's probably one of the main names that it appears to an out. the, the fact is finding someone who can bring

a larger collection of parties to governments and then previously. and that is a tall order. at this point, there have been different assessments of what the political trouble in france means for the you. what's your take as well the be it is because we're kind of at the worst time. and i think of, for instance, to the fact that the southern july end is traveling to and to perhaps a complete negotiation with america. so do, do of that. friends has the need to see a being against i think shows how difficult it can be for funds to be remain in such as we political situation when there's so much decisions to take. so i think that is it's, it's a my country's best way to, to not to connect this political trouble last and really give the country a government to as soon as possible. he took, he said he would take

a couple of days. but i think we, we cannot afford that too long because he wasn't even also for the support to ukraine. there are some expenditures in the budget of 2024, but then if you want to carry on data, of course you need a government to to take those kind of decisions. yeah. so tell me, yeah, i'm the director nor institute. thank you so much. thank you. japan, a celebrating the addition of socket to unesco is world heritage list you an agency voted to recognize the alcoholic drink as intangible cultural heritage gemini. saki brewers are now hoping the designation will help revive declining sales. this smooth of rice wine has been viewed as a sacred gift from deities and it's been an integral part of japan's culture. for centuries. originally, it was even believed to ward off evil spirits. now unesco has decided to register

enter all up to date as to what to support to the point, asking if a deal was put in the will come at the expense of ukraine. after a short break, stay with us by the

especially if he wants to get the nato protection. he hopes works by temporarily.
