believed the ruling pass. he 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 being that there is a huge consensus the georgia society about. and this also damages the threat of legitimacy that they might have. so we do not recognize this parliament as though it you 2 minutes a problem and 3 calls a little more and you all people was on this and howled and parked and beat nice to raise their voice. now, because the morally why the minds the bullets, we'll do that george's car and probably waste and president has refused to step down and is demanding a new pilot mean tree election. she had this to say on friday, doc wrote a dog, i'm not going anywhere on the island, leave anyone behind. i'm here and i will be here. this is because at this moment, this country absolutely needs and legitimate institution,

election, back in october, the officially the selection was one by the routing, georgia dream party. they have the parliament majority now, but the opposition as well as the incumbent president solomon's would. obviously they claim that the selection was stolen and rigorous 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 ruling majority. but the opposition is calling can legitimate, right? you mentioned a new president. let's talk a bit about him. tell us about detail kind of calculus the why is he so controversial? he's a former football player. he's 53 years old and he, he joins full ethics just a few years ago with the georgia dream ruling party. and he's considered

a hard liner, a famous for his loud on the west and rhetoric. and as, as m p, the, she was the one who was often proposing some 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 are saying 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 interest is situation where this sits in precedence side of me, 0 this tv sites with you a position and says she one step down. surely that comes between sets and precedence. what's going to happen now? exactly of the pro you president?

to remove him from office or reject the impeachment, restore his powers to us look at some more stories making headlines around the world. civil defense officials into how mosse run a guy's last rape. say at least the 7 people have been killed. the ninety's riley strike several others where one day and the attack on a former school tend shelter in gaza. these are the ministry is looking into the incidence tech. he has reopened. it's invested in damascus. 12, yes, up at a diplomatic outpost was closed, it's suspended operations in 2012 due to security concerns, alley, and serious civil war. take his new interim and boy and staff. i've already arrived in the syrian capital diplomats from the union, united states and the are of well meeting in jordan as the international community at times to helps the serious lightning revolution. us secretary of state don

summit blinking math with typeface for administer. how comes the down doing detox, linking is on the middle east, tall hoping to establish a come on the front us serial wecks on setting up a new government after the regime on my side i saw the last last week is let me scoop the top of the machine says it has sets up on entering. it's the says, designate that a terrorist organization may need west and now how you'd, how you'd as a serial columnist and our consultants fellow with the middle east and north and africa program at the chatham house. i asked them if the rebels from us has to protect the rule of law and the rights of all syrians could be trusted. i think one of the main issues right now is not only the is to, 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 other 3 an actors, especially those were on the side of 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. it was without any syrians, president, what do you make of that? i think it's a waiting signed. there were no students involved. however, as i understand the need or the international uh, community, especially at this point to come together and have an agreement among themselves as

outside of the stairs 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 in a process is inclusive and his democratic as well. so now let's hope that this wouldn't be the last time they meet and on without other syrians, uh who or, or without us to the invoices. uh, but it's, it's crucial right now to basically understand not only that, you know, sort of address symbols, 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 he's, are our russia, but us and even

a run. so how likely is it that the future will syria will be decided by the people of syria? well 1st of all, i think there is a clear and you 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 on even a process to rewrite the constitution at restructure the, the army security forces provide the essential services while preparing for the elections when, when, when the right them tons, right, well,
