it legitimate meaning georgians protested outside the countries parliament. they believe the ruling policy wants to consolidate power and damage the countries aspirations of joining the european union. oh, the 2nd they were elected. so they they attached to one thing that there is a huge consistency georgia society about. and this also damages the red oak legitimacy that they might have. so we did not recognize this parliament as though would you 2 minutes of problem and vehicles a little more in your people's on this and how important be please, to raise their voice. now, because the morally, why do you mind the boat as you do that? george's car and probably waste and president has refused to step down and is demanding a new policy entry election. she had this to say on friday, doc wrote about, i'm not going anywhere on the island, leave anyone behind out. i'm here and i will be here. this is because at this

moment, this country absolutely needs legitimate institution, a part of legitimate government that is truly elected and which reflect the voice of this country of this society. i'm creating this the i'm sizable god, the way of this. as the ruling georgian dream potty announced in late november that it was postponing its effect to join the european union. since then thousands of outraged pro your georgians have demonstrated and asked for the removal of the government. and now with the election of the new president, demonstrations have bound to protest until the voices of good that's good, i'm off america. respondents gosh, somacki is to release the hello gosh. the position has been protested in 4 days and nights. the government to day called on and supports us to also make the voices had tell us more. yes,

i think the government has called them and support us to come to the parliament building at 2 nights and they wanted the government was planning to light up the christmas decorations. there, however, that event was canceled. left minutes and due to please submit your who is from the reading, georgia dream party. it has landed the pro you protesters forced pointing this event. i was there and i was able to see a few 1000 of government supporters. however, the square was clearly dominated by the onto government and pro you process through there's, you can actually just see now behind my box, the rest of the avenue. some people are coming back from the protests. some people are still going to hold them and building the dar. definitely thousands of people there tonight or very it's a cold and i think you producing my minus 2 minus degrees celsius. so the crowd this visit, the smaller than that say a week ago. right, right. so do you position calls to days, vote illegitimate. but on what grounds as well,

basically the opposition has been boy accounting department ever since the general election. back in october. the officially the selection was won by the ruling georgia dream party. they have the parliament majority now, but the opposition as well as the incumbent president, tell them is that obviously they claim that the selection was stolen or written. and due to the alleged irregularities like voters intimidation or cases of double voltage. so they are calling for new general election, and this is also why the opposition didn't show up to the parliament today for the election of the new president. because cover law should be the was chosen by the running majority about the opposition just calling him legitimate. right, you mentioned a new president. let's talk a bit about him. tell us about details kind of calculus. ve. why is he so controversial? he's

a former football player. he's 53 years old and he, he joins politics just a few years ago with the georgia dream really party. and he's considered as a hard liner, a famous for his log onto western rhetoric. and as, as m p, he was the one who was often proposing to more radical ideas. she was one of the initiators of the so called for an agent small, which struck down on non governmental organizations receiving funding from abroad and sold critic cynthia position. i was seeing that she will be working closely with the government and she will facilitate what they see is to turn away from you under the current government. right? because now we are in epa carriers slash interesting situation where the sits and precedents side of me, 0 this tv science video position and says she one step down shelley that comes between sets and precedence. what's going to happen now?

the exactly of the pro you president, is it obviously the is also calling today's election a legitimate she has already and now is that she will not leave the office until there was new general election. and until there was a new, legitimate parliament in place. and she has also announced that she will not be the presidential palace on december 29th, when her term officially ends at the government is obviously demanding that she leaves the presidential palace just last week. the majority has stripped the incumbent president of security after her term. and so the standoff between the incumbent president and the government is continuing and it will be even more intensive in the coming weeks. right. will be monitoring the situation to see how it goes. the w correspondence goes to manascale, thank you. so, less than 2 weeks after his short lived marcell,

lower degree, solved korea as president, has been suspended after parliament voted to impeach him. he also feels, as he will step aside as a country is constitutional. courts now considered as future celebrations on the streets of so uh, south korean lawmakers vote to impeach that president. use the keels, 204 in peace voted in favor of the impeachment process with 8 to 5 bucking the now suspended. president shock repulsed through the national assembly. as a speaker made the declaration an estimated 200000 people gathered on the streets outside parliament,

demanding the removal of the increase in the unpopular president whose approval ratings of limited to just 11 percent. i'm so moved and i think the people one megabyte wasn't it was less than 2 weeks ago. the used to keel announced marshall, plunging the country into a states of anger and his korea into a political crisis. it was retracted just 6 hours later after law made because unanimously voted it down speaking, following the impeachment vote you said he would fight for the country to the very end. oh don't you go to tom she but i may pause for a moment now, but the journey toward the future, which i have worked with the people over the past 2 and a half years must never come to a hold won't show. i will never give up states now up to the country's

constitutional calls to decide on human future. 8 to 6 months to consider whether to remove him from office or reject the impeachment, restore his powers. diplomats from the will p, any on united states and the arab. well, that means in jordan as international community attempts to help steer serious lightning revolution, us secretary of state onto the blinking match with texas foreign minister. conversely, don, doing adults, lincoln is on a middle east, tall hoping to establish a common front as c, we out west on setting up a new government after the regime of a saw a cycle last last week. this, let me scoop that top of the game so as it has set up on entering governments, h t s is designate that a terrorist organization by many west and that's been getting height height. he is the serial columnist and the consulting fellow with the middle

east and north africa program at south of miles. hello and welcome said. so the rebels have installed at transitional governments from us and to protect the root of law and the rights of all syrians. but can be be trusted to deliver such promises. thank you for having me. i think one of the main issues right now is not only the, it is a, is ignited the address group. the group itself has been the main actor in charge of forming the transition of a government leading the transitional process without having any doubt of connections to the political process led by the you and in geneva. as well as without much sort of consultation. if any,

was the other 3 and actors, especially those were outside of the, the syria. so this is why i think it's a, it's a cause for concern for many, for many, serious as well as non serious. we're watching what's happening. right. diplomats and international representatives mentioned joe done today to discuss the future of syria and was without any syrians, president, what do you make of that? i think it's a waiting signed. there were no students involved. however, at my ends on the needs of the international uh community, especially at this point to come together and have an agreement among themselves as outside the players when it comes to a what they want to see happening inside the country and to how to support the transitional process there on how to ensure that that transition and

a process is inclusive and is democratic as well. so now let's hope that this will be the last time they meet and going without other syrians, uh who or, or without us invoices. but it's, it's crucial right now to basically understand not only the general sort of a principles they laid out in their statement about what the importance of having a democratic and intrusive transition about how they're trying to achieve the right . that about 4, we knocked us with interest in syria, such as tacky. you can say these are our russia, the us, and even a run. so how likely is it that the future will syria will be decided by the people of syria as well. first of all, i think there is a clear and you and, and resolution the charts or lays out

a roadmap for what syrians need to do and how they need to do it. in order to ensure that there is an inclusive transition, a starting was forming an inclusive transition of a body to run the country for a short period of time. and there is a review and even at process to rewrite the constitution a. restructured that the army security forces provide the specialist services while preparing for the elections when when, when the right time comes. right. well wait and see how things develop. how you'd, how you'd consultants, the middle east and north africa program at southam house. thank you. thank and that's also not about stay with us, full shift, taking a look at

a problem that's gone, global online gambling and you have the diction. it kind of costs all kind of gambling platforms to be regulated across the whole i, i'm at the mike a junior, thanks for watching. stay tuned for me on use of the top of the off the come have a piece of this outtake, the highlights you every week in your inbox. subscribe. now i think the forward is twice go ahead for which cycle outside the box on your but always remember to sing for yourself. we all had to somebody
