including supporters of you. so tell us a little bit more about the reaction and want it's been like a yeah, i was just up the protest and the demonstration right in front of the national assembly, which is not for you. and it's definitely for a use impeachment. and as soon as you, as impeachment vote was announced to have passed was 204 votes. the elation and the father for democracy and also happiness on the ground was quite evident. people were crying again, i'm very much happy for the gods of release. and they started calling into people's victory as we seen throughout. and as you can see in the video, you know, k pump light sticks, you know, they lit up in different colors near the national assembly and protest as they broke into song into the new world by goals generation straight after the vote was announced. however, of course,

there has been support for you considerably another mass rally that was staged in upon them and square the i saw city center support of you and it turned tense and some very disappointed participants reportedly started moving away after news of the emotions passage and the still quite a political divide, zooming a little bit and we don't have a huge amount of time left to what does all of this mean for it's have korea's democracy or yeah, um, you know, south brand democracy. um it's showing that it can persevere. um, you know, we've, we've seen that the president, he's declared martial law on uh, and he's defended it by saying that he was trying to root out pro north reinforces and he gave the evidence of an election fraud that is still less to be on that it's still less to be having proof of evidence. um,

so the marshal law and the grounds from national as indicted by article 77 of all countries constitution. it's not yet satisfied. um, so i think that's what goes forward and the democracy as many people on the ground have said have prevailed. right. and we'll be keeping a close eye on developments there in south korea, june park reporting from so great to have you on the show today. thank you very much to political controversy in georgia now where a former full border has been named as the country's new president and need a constitutional crisis. retail. kevin law should really election. that election was void, contract by the opposition. his describe the process as illegitimate. the routing pro russian georgia dream party time victory in a disputed election in october georgia's current president selma director. she has refused right, well, let's go to, to the leasing that we're,

i'm joined by our correspondence ag to shy gosh at she now ski and great to see on the show. so we can cover liability has been elected george's new president by the countries electoral college. but sal amazing were a basically who's been president since 2018 and said she's not stepping down. so what happens now of the well, probably the short term tonight we are expecting the troll you protesters to gather again to sort of $735.00 the parliament building. and this time around, the government has also called on it's supporters to show up in front of the parliament for the unveiling of the christmas tree there. so we are possibly going to have some trolls and governors across the safe spot that's for now the situation is called in the city. as you can see, the name of the street is still not is to open to traffic, but in the longer term,

the next 2 weeks you observe this. well, let's go, tries this little up in the stand up between the incumbents pro you president and the government's develop. and she's supposed to step down and say these differential problems by december 29th when her term is ended. but she has said that this election today was illegitimate. and because of the cause of default, because of alleged last personally elementary elections in october. so i'm just kind of a sure degree this is going to compete with the student or students share. gosh, tell us a little bit more about mikhail covers actually is he is a former football player and he only answers politics a few years ago with the reading georgia dream party. and he's particularly known

for his aunty western rhetoric. he's considered a teacher with using strong language and radical from moulton chronicled positions in the government come and he was also one of the initiators of the so called for an agent small that's fucks down on non governmental organizations receiving funding from abroad. so the critics are saying that she will be supporting the government and basically facilitating what they see is the contrast thrown away from that. we've seen months of protests against the governing georgian dream party. what are the main issues concerning the protesters for the protesters? it's mostly about the democracy and if you integrate the

georgia bar to which has been in power for 12 years has for a long time, subscribed to the idea of you integration, which is very popular in the georgia society, which is also in strides in the countries constitution, however, after russia's invasion of you crazy things have changed a little bit this, especially in the last year we've seen the georgia dream publications officials coming out with increasingly come to western rhetoric and also cracking down on and yours. and those are the key writes. so the protesters see this as a sign of turn away from you and possibly for sure. all right, well i have to leave it there at dw correspondence shy gosh. and she announced joining us from to please. thank you and my celebrations have taken place across syria to mark the 1st friday prayer since the fall of the dictatorship. more than

13 years of war, along with the brutality of the decades long regime has given way to songs of hope . and the 3 star to flag of a new syria a. d this is serious 3rd city homes here and all across the country. thousands turned out to mock aside a victory that jubilant that more than half a century activity under the asset classes has ended. homes became known as the capital of the city and revolution as one of the 1st cities devise up against the regime. and the civil war began in 2011. but there was a price in this place, the clock tower square held special significance in $8.00 till 2011 security forces, open fire, and demonstrate just killing at least $21.00. a lot of people died in this class. this is the protest to the mazda con, believe that the dictator has full,

and i never believe this, they would call them. well, i tell you, i'm with celebrating the liberation of homes. it's been a great day. i met people, i haven't seen a 13 years. you know, well the baby and all that when we were away from homes, it was really difficult. we were displaced and it was hard to dream of returning. but we had faith in god and they did not disappoint us. a lot of the mean must say you have not the celebrations attended with sadness for those who were killed. oh, those whose whereabouts are known as with celebration victory, but so much is missing. my father is still missing. lots of, despite this fixture was still don't know, with manage the time. these are modern, a thought sylvia has endued so much in recent years on this friday of victory. many will have been praying that this next chapter in its history is one

of peace and unity. the franchise a use interest, a prime minister funds to it by who has value to tackle the political style night that says week and the government since inconclusive elections. last summer, the previous premier me shout about and yet resigned after just 3 months in office when he lost a confidence about a pig was a lavish, traditional sort of an easy person, but not to read. one of these days called squat by who became friends, is full prime minister this year. it was the 2025 frontier that broke the last government down. if you have a quote to say it gets to, i believe the issue, a state borrowing and debt is also a moral one who's informed that it's not just a financial issue. no, see. so with the french political landscape split 3 ways back home defied calls from the far left and follow right policies to a point, one of the number preferring to name someone from his own centers to come an

n p from mac homes. really nice songs potty said the only criterion should be what's best for friends and it's people supposed to say it was all nice thing. we need to start making out the parliament revolves around the right wing or socialist policies. it's clear that if you leave out the fall, right, i'm far left. that's a pos way open to negotiate the national assembly, the political landscape and the pos is not working for the french army for the french in each month for the policy. but on hearing of microns new choice to had his cabinet, these people on the streets when not convinced by whose appointment will break the political deadlock in front of his hands with him on the honestly, it's really nothing. when you said, if you're the city are here now, it really seems like it's the old name is being brought back. it's super disappointing because we really expected something different from the president to rather than putting a series of old men at the head of the french government. so yes, it's

a big disappointment, so we can go to the sip. so i switch the, let's hope that we can get a government that less than can respond to the expectation of the french people. would perhaps a little more serenity, i think would be a good thing for francis constitution fans fresh elections within one year. and michael has about to serve useful to him, which ends in 2027. a friend still needs to pass a budget for 2035, little more than 2 weeks away. there's little chance of a peaceful christmas for french politicians and french peoples at large time. for a quick reminder of our top story, protesters celebrate a decision by south korean lawmakers to impeach president user killed. the vote follows his botched attempt to impose marshall earlier this month. eunice said he will step aside. 4 won't give up the constitutional court on either side with a to remove him from office. that's all for now,

but the state business shift is next. the risk of digital. that's after a short break. and don't forget this types of more and using information on our website, the w dot com and you can follow some social media on top of all the areas for me, the team here. thanks for watching the gentleman with c w 12 or emphasizing the award winning offer is available worldwide. every downwards level learning gym and has to go. what is it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time they are peers and.
