the zones, i'm afraid i'll never see him again. no way. oh you lost on the rock. starts december 18th on dw, the. this is dw news. why? from berlin? south korea's problem. it moves to impeach the president to lawmakers. vote on whether to impeach president june. so if you'll over his attempt to impose martial law, but he looks almost certain to survive. also coming up today and go to the polls to elected president and parliament and been widespread discontent over the economy and soaring prices. we'll hear what people are demanding the unlike local welcome to the program, south korea's president. you and so if you'll look set to survive and impeachment

vote after a boy caught by lawmakers from his own party. the members of the ruling party walked out of the parliamentary chamber, leaving the motion short of the votes needed to pass the opposition. coalition filed the p impeachment border in response to the president's martial law declaration on tuesday. president unit has since apologize for the public anxiety caused by his announcement that's cross over to dw east asia, corresponded james trader who joins us by phone in. so james, just hours ago, president humans political prospect looked all but dead with his own party calling for his ouster. what happened of the hi, michael, what i just explained a little bit about what we've seen over the past hour or so in south korea. really

quite extraordinary in terms of the political situation, just to remind view of the south cris palm. it was actually focusing on the 2 bills this evening. the cost of those was the special prosecutors billed to investigate this past lady. you suckled twice over lights from the beacon software, classified information that boats was fight to down. and then as we'll make is were about to start the impeachment boat proceedings. almost all of korea's ruling party saw joan policy left the chamber only one parliamentarian. essentially one of the remains in the teva chamber, essentially boy coughing this motion. why this is so important for the mathematics on the dispos that we're looking at in the parliament is that there are 300 members . also for his national assembly, we need to 2 thirds majority for the votes of costs. so if all of the opposition posts up 192 states,

so not enough to restart 2000 majority. so it's low on the routing cost. we have decided not to participate in this boat. it means that you've sort of decided to stay in office by specifically by virtue on the routing policy, you know, taking positive votes. so we, we've seen james uh, images all day of thousands of people taking to the streets. have they heard about what happened in parliament and how they reacting us? absolutely. well, i was just outside of where i am right now. i've had to come inside to speak to you because there's so many people outside. but the signal has been, has been quite touchy when people with seeing it trust will do that 1st motion was left to die. on the almost frustration people were shouting at the big television screen. so the interest in that price just outside the national assembly. and then when they saw apartments herring's leaving the chain that was in numerous

restoration. the speaker of cruise parliament also came on giving a very impassioned speech holding it for rolling call. team members, tourist. and one thing he said is that the question i'm saying, are you not afraid of being judged like history and above this is becoming a very fluid situation. now we understand that the parliament is still waiting for some of those who will make us to we're time to see if they will participate in the bugs. um, but that will be big quite students within the public. and course as a result of, it's not even a member of the public right and only know must be frustrated by what's happened. that's been process outside the national assembly every day. it's and it seems like you all declared that short lived marshal lloyd's expiration on tuesday. nights and there's no sign dots um even if he survived his boats, you know, get them on regular way even if the moving parts of the parts of space in it that those approaches installed. but that's part of that. he looks like he might survive

it because they wouldn't talk even though even participating in the democratic process. i think of going to frustrate people even more. james, what's likely to happen next? well, in a new sense, if the use of jones to bind bits boats that is really the end of the proceedings, of course, it's unlikely that this will be the conclusion. as again, as i just, i mentioned the level of frustration and anger that is amongst south korean citizen, it means that you know, even again, if you, if you survive this part, it's unlikely that the level of the frustration is going to subside. i imagine that the pressure won't decrease on him suit. you step down and the bigger question really hit is heavy. so we'll use local area today saying that he was sorry for declaring most of the one she was and then he's entrusted the government's

administration. so the ruling policy, so the question going forward is they can survive is difficult in a formal sense. what does that mean if you, if you kind of deflecting how it is on policy, who exactly is in charge in south korea off to the sea. and i think that's a big question. the public opposition booming because i never read the question and obviously the guns well, um and the unrest and um, pressure on you to resign quickly, i think is likely to subsides. okay, that is a dw east asia correspond to james trader joining us by phone many thanks, james. training to african our people in gonna are voting in a general election described by one candidate as a defining moment for the nation. the poll is large, with a contest between the current vice president obama do bombing of the ruling new patriotic party. and john john the on the bahama of the main opposition national

democratic congress party, who was previously president from 2012 to 20. 17 gunner is one of africa's most stable democracies, but as dw, it's kamani reports. the country is currently suffering the worst economic crisis in a generation of the she's the picture of a successful guinea and business woman. but julia lobby can't afford any luxuries. despite the blistering cra heat, she keeps her fond of utility bills of soaring, and as a primary provider for her family. she must carefully balance conflict and survival . like many in gunners, middle class disposable income has shrunk. i'll be there lots of sacrifices where, but i need to buy myself a pair of shoes. i need to buy myself, maybe a car to boost my business to do something. but at the moment you can't do that. so i may have to use my personal cost to run my business, run my personal life,

the price of gonna families are struggling, high inflation, currency depreciation, and mounting national debt have tightened. the group of middle class households pushing more people into poverty as a country heads into its next elections. to presidential candidates joined my hama and my home with the but with me a each claim they have the solutions to fix the economy. the top concern among voters here that wondering where the living conditions have been harsh these days. even if you work hard, what you earn as income can't sustain you long because it's a struggle. i'm just when i put that, why would you put on drink? and many businesses, a barely surviving, like juliet's serial factory. she tells me supply costs keep rising. a work has also faced high a bills at home, but julia can't afford to raise the pay. instead, she sometimes offers free food to take home julia some other grease works,

the corn meal. she's here to help her daughter out, but she doesn't really have a choice. a farming google gun no longer produces an income she can live on. when you move without my daughter, who's always pushing hard to keep us in business, it would be difficult for me and also for other workers to model working harder and cutting back is what many canadians are forced to do right now. even those who are highly educated lament that this skews a sick to mismatched for what the job market, who's on the list of do. awesome, it says for political leadership is partly to blame for governance, economic troubles, of course mismanagement, despite the ritz carlton, as far as the re lock of 4 sides of the leadership based on the lack of a long term planning. there's also another um, excessive fight event. but it's got flood zone. she is a serious concern for us to me and her mother like many in gunners,

middle class struggling to hold on, hoping for change to them. the choice of who to elect is more than political. it's about personal survival. to earlier i spoke to our correspondent, easiest kamani in cross who filed that report. i asked her about the mood, ad pulling stations there. well, the mood is very electric at the moment. it's not. so it wasn't this, we, when we 1st started looking at the polling stations, but many of them that we visited, look quite similar to where we uh, this one is quite unique because it's right in the middle of the street. but this is not unique to gunner, they do like the process to be very transparent and open to the public as to what people do is they get to the right to so where they verify that they are indeed in the register. and once that's done, they've been moved onto the voting was which again, in the full glare of the people, it's only when they get into the, the, the actual thing, but then they get, they get some level of privacy. and we saw this one here who voted

a disappointing station that does what i just want to ask you, how the process works for you. oh, the process is very smooth. there's no must price is trace. so as like, taking the staves is very cool and calm. so i'm a show at the end of the day that would be 3, say and before lesson. all right, you seem to be very confident that the election is going to go off without a hitch, but i knew you were saying, but you're surprised a bit on that. many people is because this plays used to be a very busy please. bad to be looking at it to now to dislike people. i know it's coming much to with, but maybe at the end of the day they will come out. thank you very much. those mon, well may be more people to know to the afternoon, but the situation as is, is that people are slowly tricking in. are certainly a lot at stake. there it is. so let's dive a little bit deeper into the main issues. driving people as they cast their votes, by most accounts it appears to be the economy

indeed it is, and you can go 10 steps here without somebody telling you how difficult life has become for them. and part of that is because of the current regime and the president, a cool for the went on and checked the borrowing. and that meant that a lot of people here who do give the investments to the government are the ones who are left looking at mt coffers. is the story of a famous businessman, who said that the lack of repayments by the government to he was killing him and he did indeed pass away after a year. so there's a lot of pressure being exerted on families. there's a lot of pressure being exerted on individuals and businesses, and that is a main concern for them today. what are the candidates promising well, president of, or rather vice president my how would you but will me a, has very little to say about the economy. it's very difficult for him to defend what has been happening over the last 8 years when he has been up the helm. instead,

he's offering to digitize the economy, saying that things are going to progress into, you know, the 1st industrial revolution. when he's bought from a president, john, my, how my says that he was a 24 hour economy on his billboards. he's saying that he will create the gun that that's going in ones with the that's going to happen is obviously going to be known as of the day. and our thanks as always do like edith kamani, you came across the time now for some other stories making headlines, sir, in rebels say they have seized control of the southern city of the birthplace of the 2011 uprising against president bush, almost not in the north rebels are now closing in on the city of homes. taking homes would bring them a step closer to capturing the capital. the mask. it's in the united states, new york police, i believe. the gunman who killed the ceo of a major us health ensure has left the city the f. b. i is offering
