the the children are seen among the protesters in georgia after the countries opposition presidents. first school students enjoyed demonstrations against the democratically elected parliament. the, the syrian army announces the 3 taken her mind to push past the militant incursion . that's as rush as you and envoy. i calls out washington for tearing no effort to support terrorist there are western colleagues driven by hatred of the legitimate government in syria. so you have not stopped interacting with them. the united states and its allies use every opportunity to ground is always consecutive, affordable care as to who lives to

the end of the public outrage. and the unanimous parliamentary vote for the supreme present to a verse. his martial law declaration, just hours after the surprise announcement, the live in moscow on rachel ruble. you're watching our t international. we're bringing you the top new stories from around the world. but 1st, tucker carlson has returned to moscow as russian foreign minister, sir gala rob has agreed to an interview. the popular american journalist posted this announcement on social media in the week since we left russia moscow where we are now in february, after being flat of our position. we've watched from united states as defined, administration, has driven the us ever closer to

a nuclear conflict. we process the country, the possessive world, hard to see we're arsenal. so we are. and what else to most americans in a hot war with russian on declared war where you did not vote for and the most americans don't want this ongoing. meanwhile, most americans have no access to any perspective other than that granted to them by nbc news and the new york times, they don't know how close we are. they don't know the russian perspective. we've been trying for over a year to get that perspective out to american news consumers. we've also tried for over a year to get an interview with the landscaping president of ukraine. we've a tech that from a bunch of different angles. we've spoken to a lot of different people around. jim had dinner with them. we've been in fox continuously. and those efforts have been forwarded by the us government, the american embassy in key of which our tax dollars pay for told us lindsay government. no, you may not to the interview, you can talk to cnn. you can talk to us, so we've been unable to speak to him. so we came back to moscow yesterday to interview the foreign minister of rochester and

a lab roth along disturbing foreign minister in the world. he's been a part of this government for 25 years. he's been in the diplomatic court for over 40 and ask him where exactly are we? are we headed toward an unprecedented conflict between russia in the united states? is there any way appeal, rush, or back from the east, from the sphere of china back in to the west? is that alliance of permanence? and does the election of donald trump mean an end to this war which is re shaping the world? the us economy, the global economy, and risking the life of every person on this plan is that possible. the georgia and the capital tbilisi has seen its 6 consecutive night of riots. that's after the constitutional court refused to accept the appeals and georgia's outgoing 5 then. and her position allies to nullify the results of october's problem and 3 election the,

the pro european president on moving the position. and he's made an appeal to the constitutional court in georgia saying that they felt that there was one spread breaking in the october election. this was one by georgia dream when they were re elected to the government in this country. they had appealed to the court to look at the evidence they were presenting. and that has now been slightly rejected. the constitutional court saying no, it does not accept those appeals by the from you are paying presence. and by those opposition parliamentary make it saying that that decision cannot be reviewed. it cannot be appealed, it is a final decision. and this is a really big boon for georgia dream that is always to noise. the accusations of the

readings that have been made over the last 5 or 6 weeks. this is a policy that took almost 54 percent of the vote in those elections in october becoming the re elected governments of georgia. but despite that ruling by the constitutional quote, which confirms what we already heard from the electoral commission that the elections were free. in fact, we have witnessed, extreme violence from the protest is and then not has been responded to the heavy hand by the police. the on this is when we see the canons trying to the way i made choices, right? not, not just the parts as the boeing seen it across, trying to sweep people way. all the building them once again for

a 6. no, i seem to be seeing also elsewhere in georgia origin. prime is that has said that you know, this kind of action is being served on by west and for an active, but they are essentially instigating the pilots that we have seen here into b c. this is not the 1st time that there's been in the times of a revolution in his country, and he had said that he will at any cost avoid that being another made in stone, who as they was in ukraine, let's just have a listen to his views on this, during these 4 years, we have gone through 4 attempts to travel. lucian national may dance. this is a fact. in june 2022, there was the 1st attempt to organize a national might then, when we were not given the status of a candidate and, and juice, funded from abroad, entered the political scene and demanded the resignation of the government and their own coming to power in the spring of 2023, there was

a 2nd attempt at the my dad in the spring of 2024, a 3rd attempt and now have seen the 4th failed attempt to organize a national might done. but we've also heard from the usa and president, so not is the only issue encouraging more protests. she's now demanding that the protests are expended. and the school children come out and show that dispatch inspection with the current government after universities, it is the turn of schools to express their solidarity with the protest. oliver georgia. miss salome, we hope that off to schools. you will not cool kindergartens to participate in protest actions. i think the question now is how will you react to that decision by the constitutional court here in georgia. what we're seeing is that this country is split this out across roads. you have tens of thousands of people coming out to the streets, demanding that they come to move towards europe in union. but do they speak of the

voice of a country of almost 4000000 people? and that is the question. the government says no, they don't. and it is refusing to fax down, it says it won't allow what happened in ukraine to happen to here in georgia. a journal as have been taught in the crossfire of the chaos in georgia. i'm a mass protest are launched the fireworks directly at a local reporter who was reporting the classes medic treated the injured victim. a member of an r t. news crew was also harmed during the classes in typically see you can see is being protested is coming by to we're going to need to see the video on the streets. his eyes were affected by the tear gas and laced by law enforcers against violent protesters. our employee was forced to cut short his

work in georgia for medical reasons and return to moscow for treatments. we heard from weekly blitz contributor and military expert, drug or business. she says the georgian presidents call for children, hit the street shows she's running out of options to be supposed to set down on december 15th. and she already said that she will not do that even though it is against the law of georgian constitution essentially. so again, this is, this is a qu essentially, and the fact that she wants kids industry show shows out of that for she is because i mean how hard it is to convince a bunch of kids to go and do something fun. so in that regard, i think it shows how desperate they are and also the number of foreigners among the professors demonstrate that the georgia people, the ones, as we know, the political wise is obsessed with the d, v t q. right? and the problem is, as long as the georgia has a wall,

like this is not legally joined to you because use was simply are not in line with discharging law. and in that regard, i think that the georgia itself would have to change his boss completely in order to be eligible for you membership. what that means is on us removing this law, but also enabling eligibility to propaganda in schools. and essentially this will be the brain washing of yours and kid. this will be completely unacceptable for the vast majority. jordan, in an exclusive interview with our to you, hon. gary and foreign minister peters the are to head out at the west tendency to declare any election undemocratic, if liberal candidates lose, saying the move is totally unacceptable. events that are unfolding in georgia in tbilisi, uh, 4 nights for 5 nights of terrible protests. what's the view or from budapest stronger, but very simple, very simple. um,

if it had to be in the position to win that election, that would be no protests. that would be no external pressure. and everybody, everybody would praise the fund bostic shape of the georgia democracy or what this the brussels is not washington is not there. lean is not very useful besides, but the georgia and the 200 people made a very clear decision. high turn out more than 50 percent support to the ruling party period. that shouldn't be respected. and my problem is that this is very generally new. in the case, it is not the liberals to be in the election. the democratic nature of the whole country on the whole political system is being pressure in the media. if it is, uh, leave it also when everything's fine. if it's fits your story and if it is conservative story, and if it is right spring during the nature of democracy, it is immediately question. and this is both of them acceptable to turn. so look at arcus to get our case. we have been under attack for the last 15 years into your

opinion. we have been under financial sanctions. why? because we are not ready to speak according to the liberal mainstream. we are not ready to act according to the liberal ministry. we are concerned with these fancy update for us national interest in number one. for us family comes east of the mother and the father and the children. the father is a my mother is a woman. i know you're in a, you quote because of a s. we protect our children, we protect our country, we protect our border and we are under find their full session. if. if the opposition had one in georgia, everybody would, would be so happy with the fantastic shape of the georgia democracy. that's okay. and in syria, the state is fighting a major militant offensive that recently erupt in the countries northern provinces . the syrian defense ministry says this troops have successfully pushed the terrace out of the city of ha. oh, the working in tandem

sirian ground troops and russian aviation inflicted heavy losses on the militant groups in the north, damascus reports eliminating 200 of fighters and destroying dozens of armored vehicles. and helicopters. of classes are still ongoing in the provinces of it live and 11 o 2 rear alshaun terrace. there are openly flaunting the support the group has received from you train us according to rush, as you and envoy who also accused washington of back in the attack against the syrian government. when you have the, we have repeatedly warned against flirting with international terrorists who have settled near a level. however, our western colleagues and i've, driven by hatred up the legitimate government in syria. so you have not stopped interacting with them. the militants who are waiting in the wings took advantage of a difficult situation to establish the syrians and look back into this ukrainian intelligence is involved in the organization of combat activities and the supply of

weapons to militants operating in north western syria, him over the ukrainian military instructors are present in the evening provinces training fighters of terry are all shot, but at least fighters not only do not hide the fact of support from ukraine, but also open leaf wanted to ukraine has become a hot bed of international terrorism resorts in the united states and its allies use every opportunity to hold ground imposing sanctions and supporting terrorists in the bottle. do i need the inclination of some states to exceptionally by terrorism, asian as an investment was obstruct to the achievement of the desired outcome. let's see though, it has prolonged the good of terrorism that i think the problem is, the lack of political will see us on the part of the states on a cost of policies and practices against my country. and to have a navy terrorism to establish a foothold dream on an air, it is under the legal foreign military presence in syria, a sort of time would you, if i'm to wonder, don't china calls to take measures to cut off terrorist routes and move into the

end their channels for obtaining women's. the international community allies shouldn't be honestly respected serious sovereignty, security entered, and territorial integrity. foreign forces must end is there. a legal military presence in syria. white relevant countries should immediately lift the unilateral sanctions against syria to hi, at to rear, all som broke off from the l news where a friend which used to be a branch of al qaeda u. n, as well as countries like syria, russia and us have designate nursing they did the group a terrorist organization. high out to where awesome is currently working with divisions of the freezer in the army, which washington openly supported under obama. and we spoke with the head of news at the craigslist a month right now who called out us calls for peace as the country openly supports terrace, a lot of states um officials in particular. and then i, i want to say in this, in these wide houses more than any before shopping they, they have rented it for the really find it. the meaning of people create

a god. they have really, really find the meaning of cynicism. flynn, outer space files for decades benefited from army from funding, from training experience groups such as how ya, patty, it awesome such as ice is such as allocate even the right they, all of these groups are born out of the united states, attempts destabilizing the region of west ation, we are just seeing yet another example. and of these, with this on an activation of these uh, extreme is the groups, you know, you and, and you as designated terrorist organizations launching an attack, i guess the legitimate government a on syria is the syrian, the army. and um, essentially a, you know, trying to take control of an area of syria that would help. and these really government that would help the united states who illegally occupied syria by the way. and that would help their, their goal is, is, uh,

is completely caught on and there's connections with ukrainian force there's, there's connection with the, with many of the usual suspects. hearing what's happening in syria. meanwhile, the russian and turkish presidents have held a phone call to discuss the escalation in syria blunder, booting stress to the need to restore a constitutional order in the air country that's been gripped by a terrorist offensive. both leaders previously helped to secure a relative peace in syria. ortiz yes. and i can, has more on tuesdays conversation and the 2 sides agree on such as protecting the solvency as well as the territorial borders of syria. but there are number of differences they did not necessarily tend them to be specific. but what we do understand is that the 2 sides specifically want to discuss the prospect of putting an end to the still the team within more than syria. more important when we worked and presidents letter mapleton did express concern about the image of activity in the north, and that, that needs to come to an end. and, but it also asks turkey and to essentially use everything in his capacity to ensure

that those concerns are the se, essentially one way or the other. but we also want to side of the course of the statements. we're in one way or the other, a little bit vague. it doesn't give too many specifics. but of course it comes at a time after and being turkish and running for minutes. a met then, 3rd year after the iranian foreign minister section and briefly visited the syrian presidents in damascus on sunday. and we understand that the rhetoric coming out on correct in general and suggests that the is all of the sides that are party to this conflict in syria, of course, to share certain values on certain concerns that are in line with one another. but that also came a day after the wrong for me to submit with the syrian presidents in damascus. we understand that there is a great deal of diplomacy that is true underway. we understand that there are concerns and red lines that are being discussed. but of course, are the meeting between the charges and they run me for ministers did result in some form of an understanding. we understand that iran also suggests that if the syrian government does decide to request help and that you are on inside,

will adhere to that request. we are concerned with the collapse of the style of tracking syria because there is no easy alternative to if expansion of terrorist groups may hom, syria's neighboring countries, such as a rock, jordan, and turkey. more than iran. if the syrian government asks that rom to send troops to syria, we will consider the request. later this week, we understand that it will be inform housing that are on the trilateral group. good, hypothetical speaking may be discussed with the developments. the more problem to discuss are the prospect of a roadmap to ensure that the situation does not desolate and revive the old astonished agreements. and hypothetically, speaking to an end, it says the conflict once and for all that oh, it's the russian air support already assisting the syrian the military. iran says it's willing to consider sending troops to help ensure stability if the syrian

government requested for more updates on the situation as it developed. you can go to our website. archie dot com, the south korean president you associate all has been forced to reverse his decision just hours after unexpectedly introducing martial law on tuesday. parliamentary majority rejected his attacks on political activity and attempts to center media. and the controversial policy did not go unnoticed on south korean streets, bringing crowns out in protest. the static steam. so demonstrators confronting security forces near the parliament building in the capital, while hundreds gathered in souls center to demand impeachment of the president after he declared martial law. as south korea thinks since a political crisis, the countries major opposition democratic party of 3 i had hoped for unit to resign

. people to do the emergency declaration is a violation of all procedures. a violation of the law on arms. soldiers and policemen blocked parliamentarians from assembling. the president himself must be investigated union soon, you'll have to break the law and suppress democracy. compulsion to be banished at 20 in the middle of the night. the country's economy was in a slump. national interest fell to the ground. what is the prize of that union post martial law in the country and an attempt to defeat what he said were pro north korean forces? the move was also linked to opposition efforts to impeach a number of prosecutors, and the rejection of the government's proposed budget. the resignation of the president's chief of staff and that seniors secretaries were announced during the implementation and the cancellation of martial law. well, approval ratings for the president have plummeted in reaction to his on popular

decisions. the research company gallop pre ever reported his numbers dropping to 17 percent in november, a record low since taking office last month over $3400.00 professors from south korean universities called on the president to resign. well, that's why i'm could also be linked to reconciliation attempts he made with japan and statements diminishing. the impact of colonialism on korea's development and to the president stands on military support for ukraine. isn't doing him any favor. as recent polls show over 80 percent of koreans are against sending arms to kia or you and has been considering society praying with legal aid and sending an intelligence and observation team. south trans democratic party harshly criticized at the move, saying it would be an act of treason supporting sending lethal weapons to ukraine directly goes against the will of the people. why is our government only thinking about directly jumping into a war that is happening in a foreign country far away?

promoting a military crisis in order to resolve a political crisis is a great sin against our people in history. meanwhile, south korea's main ally in the us has not come down on president use southern declaration of martial laws, simply referring to their i an iron clad partnership. ultimately, at the crux of this is not, you know, present inviting president june. and these 2 specific governments, what this is about is the broader strategic relationship and the broader, broader strategic partnership that we have with the republic of korea. and that alliance, as i said, is iron clad. we can cross live now to the executive director of the career policy institute simona john simone. going to have you on the program with us. i have to admit the president of south tree of declaring martial law wasn't on my bingo card for the end of the year. but what more do you know about the events taking place in

south korea? and 1st of all, as you know, he was the point deduction was a business, very advice, and hawk is prestone who is elected to with the nurse the martian and create a history of 0.7 percent. and he has the um, yes, being associates of presidency, he has to go from day one and she did not create as a number one enemy. and that he has intuitively following us back for a campaign in the pacific campaign against china and the over of under using now as. busy also may recall a crazy kind of a casa, almost a non stop for a nice time you, it non started us that the military joint military exercises, for instance, for $200.00 p t plus days us as. busy a has enjoying work trails

for the last 2 years, and that's just not too long. it has in more than $21.00 instances where us dispatch a strategic security as a nuclear capable of a certificate, as as to korea, to, uh, base plates. and lee is, uh um and what is considered or for respirators or wednesdays is the antique china coalition. yeah. and the, in this context are very important in just a medical context that is shaped by i knew expedited work as china and send me all has been, has been, um, it gives me this policy and also in domestic, in the united. he has this really the past due region and all things considered defense. busy in no way it was a 2nd surprise, but um, um for a list of people who have observed and followed according as this is some of the expected intake many offices leaders have i predicted that the model to declare

that the ration launch lock coming, the one way or another also the, the power and budget servicing the modular. so to use that, i'm speaking right now is that there much in might be attempts in my attempt. another one. um, so it, in all the sincere, this is not a, this is not the yeah, oh the marshall no one has been resumed as so we really have to be really late. and the good news is that they know that has been um very okay. and i'm very massive people as protests against this declaration martial law, not only inquiry, but also as united states, and also their names and all the cities in united states, washington dc, los angeles, san francisco, and boston, a credit, americans and american peace activist holding protest against against diseases,

somebody as of the right questions. right. so you said, well, this may seem like a surprise for many people. the opposition had somewhat expected that this would happen. what, what would you say about the reasons the president gave for declaring a state of emergency? the reason that he gave was that she was here so i didn't know why affect her as to, to a come from this and to say for serious, would you me that pretty much the know those. and as you pointed out that this is up to the ladies, right. not bad at 15 percent. so anybody who's against the. busy considered anticipate forces specifically the opposition party and the more liberal progressive groups and workers and unions and doctors, and all those a people that we do, society, if we have been uh for this. and again, we only use this. i can pretty much just join south korea's

a democracy and that is the complete breakdown or separation of a power and the sheets of use of power and the newer scandals and corruptions and, and stupid. i think she's, is he or do they want to read this and see if she's, she's not duration. she knew that she was clearly and very, very vicious. n g, a counselor at the economy's campaign. anybody who's the head for the, you know, a guess it's a policy is considered anti state forces and he has not been quite successful as koreans have you know, the overwhelming cause of course for peace agreements and inter korean vig conciliation. so this is sort of a, is a way to face or implement this very far right? is to miss hopkins a policy. so we know relations between the south and north are obviously complex. why does soul seem to point to pyongyang, when things turn tough internally?

isn't that a to simple? it is the way it has always been, especially by athens, that the conservative party by being parties can use that as an excuse to, for their, to not to get really their power base and without infecting north korean. to that, do you know these? cuz i think considered part of, you know, by not getting the hour. and as also is, as you can see this off to the nissan guys should be under susan deans, the political us, nat geo. political and vision in office asia as you know, soft credit. so typically it is a pretty much of a not united states uh, from the base of, against the uh, doing calls waiting was against russia. and so the unit and, and china now is the against a china. so basically the nice house for that is in the united states.

okay, from 4 days and this is the red is as used as excuse to justify says new as the days. okay, so i'm on china, executive director of the korea policy institute. thank you for your time and sharing your insight into this. thank you. all right, just say with us here in our to international. i'll be back with much more news and just about half an hour in the meantime to visit our website or to dot com for the very latest breaking news and updates bye for now. the cost of the cars connect filling in the most the most of the mutual respect.
