if you were asleep i was paying for and now i asked them when generation now on the team to ministry is kind of funny. i feel like there's the this is dw news, like from berlin, south korea's president apologize. it's gone. so you'll expresses regret to the public for anxiety caused by his attempt to impose martial law. it comes to us hours before an impeachment vote with nunes own party, saying it's time to go. also coming up, the syrian rebels pushed south towards the key city of homes with government forces appearing powerless to halt their advance. the

unlike local welcome, we stored in south korea we're present at you. and so you'll have to apologize for the public anxiety because with his declaration of martial law earlier this week, he is tell a lie to a dress, came just hours ahead of an impeachment, vote in parliament and with mass protest planned in the capital. so it was used 1st public appearance since he abandoned his attempt to impose martial law, which even his own party has condemned. well, here's how president you and explain his actions. the one piece on gave him some, put on the declaration of emergency motion law, was driven by my desperation as president already bought. come as all who was ultimately responsible for state defense fund group. i just, i, we have a, this has caused anxiety for and inconvenience to the populated. so that was on was that i'm truly sorry. and i sincerely apologize to al citizens. he must have been

very surprised to me that i don't even care. i will not avoid the legal or political responsibility regarding this declaration of motion rule hippy i. g. i'm assuming and this is how some koreans are reacting to the president's speech and his apology. the more on your husband hasn't done anything wrong, has he? what does he done wrong? i mean, if there's something wrong, let's talk about it because i'm wondering, i strongly support president june. so can you talk to, jeremy, the how goes you labels, those who disagree with him as pro north korea and says even gone so far as to declare martial, no causing wide spreading science here among the public. at this point, i just want him to step down voluntarily, rather than go through with the impeachment proceedings. i went by this the moment i took the college entrance exam last month. i'm a bunch of 1020. it's unfortunate that such

a significant issue has come up in the country just before i reach this milestone. as a citizen who will lead this nation's future. i've been thinking about the need to prevent such events from happening again. diverse reactions there on the streets in south co here. earlier i spoke to journalist fabi and pressure in soul and asked him what more you and had to say of the yeah, so it was really a brief, a televised speech, a couple of minutes max. but doing so don't actually convey several important messages. first of all, he apologized, i mean, literally apologized. he was taking a deep file in front of the public. he said that if he fits sorry, of having cost um yeah, yeah, a public concern as he put it. and then he also promised that people not attempt to impose the marshall again. i think that's also a very important message for the public key of 30. he also mentioned that people not avoid legal responsibility for his behavior, but he did not really emphasize. i'll put any details what he means by that. and

lastly he said it's now it's up to his potty to decide about his future. go stay in public or not. and again, there are some open questions. he didn't go too much into detail, but those were his key messages. so an apology, but no resignation. will that be enough to keep him in power? while he still has some support left, i mean there are support us right now, gathering the city hall to basically be in favor of you. so if you all but, and they a file number by the opponents. i mean, we have mass demonstrations and now it's in front of the national assembly also in downtown so it can of us, of the campuses. and i think his support is probably not enough because he's lacking not only support with the public, but also within his own sex in his pocket chief behind on who already mentioned that the president should step down or early that he should resign. and that gives

you a, you indicated that probably also some politicians for his own routing party will be in the table that he's either impeached or stepped stone early. as you will know, there is an impeachment vote scheduled later in parliament. tell us about how the process actually works of the late uh 5 pm local. the time the parliamentarians and the national assembly will vote on this impeachment bill and they need a tooth, the majority and you have a $300.00 seats in the parliament of which $192.00 are basically are already in the hands of the opposition. so it only needs 8 or 9 politicians from the ruling party to also vote in favor of that bill that it will pass. and if it passes, which i think is relatively likely, then the case will be referred to the prosecute to and then it will take a couple of months until the prosecution at the sites,

whether you wouldn't indeed will be in peace or not. but in the meantime, a powerful already be transferred to his prime minister, who will then act as an interim president. our thanks as always to of savvy and chrysler journalists in so syrian rebels say they have sees control of the southern city of the uh, the birthplace of the 2011 uprising against president bush are all a side. it's the 4th city. your thoughts forces have lost in a week in the north of the country, rebels are now closing in on the city of homes. taking homeless would bring them a step closer to capturing the capital, damascus, and toppling president assad government extra miss troubles on the outskirts of some city that is released by the rebels. showed them just a few kilometers from the city, often described as the main artery of syria,

across roads linking the capitol, damascus to the coast, and the rest of the country lobby. their momentum has been building since the extra mas rebels, successful capture of hama for the 1st time ever was the strategic and the symbolic. when for those opposed to president assets rule anticipating their next move. russian airplanes, allied with serious government, started bonding the bridge, connecting come to homes and stuff just so the destruction of the bridge has been confirmed by the u. k. based war monitor. the rebels have advanced regardless. now holmes is the last line of defense between them and the syrian capital turkey which backs the syrian free army and provide support to other factions to confirmed . that's where the rebels are headed next. wanting to body that

to be exhibit homo age lip. how i'm a home. so one, now the target is damascus funded to body let go on to do a visit with the advance of the position is continuing. that makes it so we are monitoring it. so intelligence and media, i mean the name is cause i would say we hope the advance will continue without any issues will reduce the missing do so has has to lose this. his grip on the country had an unprecedented pace. other friends are bubbling to rebels, have now captured territory south of damascus close to a neighboring jordan, which has responded by shutting its border. citing the security situation in

serious south of us and the curtis controlled east. the curtis lead syrian democratic forces captured territory from the government, reportedly without a fight after forces which drew no key players have signaled readiness for talks on syria's political future. the advantage stick with them and no boy, he was surprised to see the southern and rapids collapse of the syrian government forces on the front lines of credit. so that to the factions took control of large areas, imposing a new, political and military reality was pretty much the city, the for many in syria. and unprecedented conviction that the rule of the sides spanning over 5 decades, maybe nearing its end. earlier i spoke to roger shanahan, a middle east analyst in a former army officer. i asked him what the rapid advance by rebel forces. mike,

tell us about the military capabilities. role setting. yeah, that'd be improved considerably. not any in terms of the technology that the i want to deploy, but the planning the capability and essentially their ability to take advantage of when opportunities has presented themselves or their, my mentioned that they have built in a very short period of time, is almost unstoppable that the mind tell us about the strategic importance of homes for both sides. what would its take over mean for the sod regime? well homeless it is really at the cross rides to the north of damascus, but it links at damascus uh with the coast and uh, particularly those areas that i, um 5 rolled to the government because of high concentrations of the i'll the we the

stick that supports and this is the foundation of the aside right jane at it so, so i like i sion of a significant energy results in terms of oil refinery and gas for is, is it really is a k um city. and if homes was to fall, then damascus is really open to the opposition forces to barrel straight down south . so it's uh k to ryan. as far as the aside right, jane is concerned and how would you assess at the moment, decides military backing? does the regime stand a chance of fighting back effectively? well, this is uh, the 64000 dollar question, then you would have storage. uh, earlier on that uh it's key is national bank is that bang, russia and around i would have been more likely to have supported it if the siri

military had showing a much better type abilities at the moment that i think a collapsing precipitously festival in a lifetime and then in how much they've now withdrawn forces from the east of the country. i'm lucky to concentrate them in the battle, said holmes, and perhaps damascus. and given that neither a rod no rush at which is obviously has it, spike is on the ukraine. neither dies countries feel that the contract the side right. jamie's kind of supplies started a getting less likely to support a side which logistics seller right is potential for that's the middle east analysts, roger shanahan. many thanks. roger. other stories making headlines. police in georgia have fire tear gas and water cannon to disperse pro e u protesters railing for a 9 consecutive day. the demonstrators were protesting the prime minister's
