now is this a summer is off bug me not the the after 2 days of relative calm riots reignite in georgia as pro e u. forces in the countries still refused to concede. despite losing the election of it is in fact and officially sanctioned to the rule of law is an essential, is it a comma used romanian constitutional port scraps. the results of the 1st round presidential election and the anti war candidate who won the vote poles, the decision of formalized who with holes protecting his victory in the run of also a head. i sincerely apologize to all citizens who must have been very surprised tray as president to ask for public forgiveness. after plunging the country at the

terminal out with his shop martial law, the ration and we bring you exclusive footage from syria where state troops are fighting a major terrorist offensive that says washington and mainstream media try to whitewash the militant, the, your watching r t international i'm rachel ruble live in moscow with a look at the top new stories from around the world. starting in georgia where there's trouble on the streets for a 2nd weekend in a row anti government protesters continued to flash, was placed in the heart of the country's capital. the

. we have seen 2 nights, a relative calm, but it is friday night and to saturday morning and we have seen a larger crowd than we've seen for the past 2 nights and back again here on this to valley avenue in front of the parliament. now once again, we saw the protest is throwing fi works towards the police. that's despite the fact that there is a band on the sale of pyrotechnics in the country because of that use in the protest. we also sold them throwing cloth bottles towards the police and then in response, we have seen the will to cannons, trying to dispose to protest as you might be able to see, fall behind me. the protests is down onto the one end of last the valley avenue. and if i bring the camera around, you'll get a sense of where the police cool news here. in the last few minutes, we're seeing fine works, directed the police. and then in response,

we have seen 2 gas directed towards the protesters, and that's why there's this big chasm at the moment. and we see this quite a little bit of catch a mass where you'll see the 2 sides dividing and then they'll come back closer together. now interestingly, um, what am i produces here on the ground was having a look at some of the individuals in the crowds this evening, including one person who was wearing the as of insignia. of course, the notorious ukrainian as of the tale and then not gives you a sense of the individuals who are here on the ground to taking costs in these protests. now we know that executives from georgia dream be willing coffee. have said that some 30 percent of those who been protesting on the ground are actually from a broad i'm the jew during prime minister himself has accused the outside. so says west he means by that the cust rating, the violence we have seen. now we know over the past few days that have been

hundreds of people being detained and on friday, some of the court proceedings did actually start again. some of these individuals, including opposition, members of parliament here in georgia. and just before we saw this spock up of violence again on friday night in to saturday morning, we did see that there was stopping searches, taking place at the metro stations and not seem to of wild, quite a few people up. but yes, we've had a few nights of relative calm the weekend is back and it seems as if the protest is here to again, refusing to acknowledge the decision by the constitutional quote early this week. the elections that they have been disputing that the president has been disputing that took place in october, were free and fast and these purchase the say they won't acknowledge that. and they still cooling. so they government to step down and officially sanctioned crew. that's however many as presidential front runner has branded the

constitutional court's decision to cancel his 1st round election victory, and order of full rerun a settlement. the romanian state has taken democracy, i'm trampled at to try. the decision of the constitutional court represents the noise. you have just the legal controversy as this. it is in fact that have been officially sanctioned cool to control. the rule of law is in an induced coma and justice student subordinated to political orders has practically lost itself. is it? it is no longer justice. it is out there commands you in such a state, not the we are no longer talking about just the crack, but rather about simulate from that's a trays. the principles of democracy or democracy is under attack to us for this is the moment to show that we are a brave people who know that the destiny and rights of the romanian nation are in our hands. got it the that's a pain. she could have democracy, the top court has ordered a full re run of the election, also stripping mr. georgia school of his chance to win the run off polls showed

well over half of romanian voters would have back to him in round to the income that romanian president says he will stay in office until a new vote determines the next leader from coldwell gods. i received materials from the minister of home affairs that show quite serious conclusions, and i urgently cannot be no security council. i'm of what the new government of romania will establish a new date for the presidential election. us here under the constitution of romania, the president executes his mandate until the end of his term at that up until a new president is elected. most of the. so i'm staying in my office until a new president is elect update. once a new president is sworn in, i will step down that adler earlier r t correspondent on a start see of a lot and joins my colleague, nicky, aaron, in the studio to break down romania is political deadlock. oh, jeff gray, one the 1st round of remaining and presidential elections and he was leading also in the opinion,

polls ahead of sundays run off on projections showing that he would get 57 percent . however, the judges of romanian constitutional court made the decision, often meeting judge and the on friday in context of receiving a large number of requests to know the presidential elections on claiming that to jessica who's come paid was a result of external interest there. and so we have this unprecedented to move a bond to close that based on what decision. and that is actually the interesting, paul, because the decision published by the court did not present the argument on their claims that they will be published later. so we'll have to wait and see uh, even the remaining and president himself obviously kept things quite vague. mary hinting at one particular candidate. and he was said that he received external support, which led to quotes decision. let's take listen to that. i'm talking to, according to the materials one of the candidates received an unofficial support that is prohibited by law of and therefore breaches the election legislation. i was

informed by the services and that this candidate selection campaign had been supported by a foreign state. and they like god and you know, we all know what he's hinting at because just before the romanian foreign ministry actually claim that it was most good behind joe jessica is campaign and use social media platforms. look for that, especially text talk and thought was mentioned on the pardon me, it helped to boost his polls. but there was no evidence evidence presented say for i'm, we've seen no proof from any officials or any politicians on that. well, even the constitutional court itself, the height is likely all humans is currently floating around and that's what makes this decisions. so unprecedented. many politicians actually, oh, will say, speaking out even cooling this a to which days of or to jessica himself actually said in a statement, even actually his main rival, a spoke out saying that the democracy has been trampled less as an attack. this is

the moment when the romanian state trampled on democracy. god truce the remaining and people and the law will prevail. it's not about me. the economy is collapsing, you are destroying democracy. you are leading the country into an a k. we should have gone ahead with the vote, respect to the will of the romanian people. i strongly condemn what happened today . they destroyed everything that was achieved with great difficulty in the last 35 years. the ccr decision is illegal, immoral and crushed is the essence of democracy event. so we have the incumbent romanian president claiming that being of thor and meddling in the election, who else could possibly be involved besides the usual less than vogue amount. that is, of course, russia. well, one interesting example to mention is more dave up because whether you come and pressed on my assigned to actually open a quote for his citizens to go inside. and my son to himself actually holds

a remaining impulse both and she made a statement opening, calling out her citizens to go right for in the remaining presidential elections. and she opened the state of who she's going to vote for in these elections. and also coming from the mold evans has done who's actually pro western as so nobody's actually paying attention to all of this. and just how scandalous that is. no one sees this as interference. and let's listen to what she had to say. that i did only dear romanian stuff on december 1st and 8. we're going to the polls again and we will be electing the parliament and the president of romania to believe it will also go to vote. i urge you to vote for a strong european romania to grow a free country. when we looked at western media, they've labeled the independent kinds that just goes victory and the 1st round is quite a shock of. well, most of the coverage of him has be negates. it does not come with us twice. so why exactly is he facing such a smear campaign? well, may not use ations against him from west and politicians on the media is,

but he's pro russian. he himself though, says that he's probably romanian, and this will comes as the incumbent. romanian president is on the other side. and he's fully behind nato on the west. um, even admitted the what is happening at the moment is uh so as to keep the post that and that's listening to him to let the media remains as steadfast and pro european country. i'm saying this for nato romania is a reliable ally, and it's very important for all of us to know that romania is not in trouble. just locate in college. so what of all of this means is that as a global trend of breaking free from the globe, less people desire the states to be sold for and on independent. that's what he thinks the search candidates who advocate for actually national interest. we've seen what's happening in a romania, we've seen what's happening in georgia with all these protests and is clearly as are attempts to, to stabilize the situation in georgia and take less. but,

you know, at the end of the day change is inevitable. we spoke with the former president of the vin social liberal party, who says, independent candidates like calen, georgia school are punished for their attempts to safe guard sovereignty. i used to assist you in, you know, if i was, there was a student that the remaining elite has simply looked at a sense of a new political stock. and you please could lead the way that he's cutting jo. jessica open one. the 1st round of the remaining a presidential election had a serious chance to claim victory in the 2nd round, at least many post by cirrus remained. companies indicated that he would wait the decision of the constitution. the court is always legitimate because there was no one above the constitutional quotes, but of course, it causes distrust and outrage and more many more of the older petitions who represented the solving approach in international politics. they oppose the globalist approach and ultimately labeled as pro russian. it is quite old us that

kevin jo. jessica could not escape despite either how close his ties are and whether they exist. that's all within the russian and lead. no one can onto the way up with you and he rejects it. so we have to think from what he's most the right. he has no theories, ties with russia. he's just the representative of that section of the remaining lead, the advocates, and i'd say, and we'll patch, we all take approach in conducting domestic and foreign policy. but such quotations . i'm not favorites in the west now. so of course, you will not be able to avoid accusations, and these per russian labor will stick to him. you mean? well, turning now to south korea where the president has apologized for giving a snap martial law order, which thrust to the country into chaos. the one piece on the declaration of emergency martial law was driven by my desperation as president had told me, your meaning i am ultimately responsible for state to fast. however, this is caused anxiety and inconvenience to the public,

as long as i am truly sorry. and i sincerely apologize to all citizens who must have been very surprised. i will not avoid the legal political responsibility regarding this declaration of martial law to you and, and hose marshal law for several hours on tuesday. while attendance with the opposition party is roy. busy and in parliament, the declaration caused an uproar in the capital with hundreds gathering and protest in the clashing with security forces outside the government building. the president justified to move as a way to counter n to state activities and pro north reinforces the backlash has resulted in his defense minister resigning and unit himself facing impeachment. meanwhile, we spoke to south korean born dissidents and hon. choice. here's a part of that exclusive interview is on that. i believe that since president human suki all came to power democracy and south korea has been on the decline of countries leadership for help since the country to develop further and

all that citizens to live in peace. and i believe that under use to fuel democracy and south korea has lost browse because the former prosecutor unit lacks social experience. i think president unit has created a political maelstrom and turmoil among the people. his career and policies will continue to cause much conflict and confusion. he declared marshal and the countries which was lifted 6 hours later to it seems that because of his lack of leadership skills, he took the matter to lightweight and so the leader of a country must be credible and sincere. and his intention to the people in that country will support this politically move. south korea will go through many trials in the future. and i hope that it can become a democratic country again now to syria, where the army has rebuffed the terrorist incursion. attacking villages in the province of homes, russian aviation to assist the government troops with strikes that destroyed militant strongholds. the.

this explicit footage says the syrian army and the northern ha. 7 vents after government troops are re deployed from the main regional city. fighting has intensified and neighboring provinces, including homes and lab. moscow says that it's joint airstrikes with damascus have eliminated at least $200.00 terrorists and destroyed the several arms depots over the past 24 hours. the top diplomats from syria, iran and iraq have met in baghdad to coordinate a response to the surprised terror offensive. that began late last month, a rock and a ron have both pledged their support for president bush. auto saw that his fight against as long as the factions, they joined hezbollah, which earlier had also vowed to help damascus counter the militant onslaught. this weekend, the crisis talks are set to take place in. jo, how with top diplomats from moscow to ron and uncle,

all convening leon slot has been led by the high out to where all som faction formerly known as al qaeda in syria. it's designated as a terrorist group of countries including russia, turkey a, and the united states. but that hasn't stopped western media from given groups leader a platform or calling him a revolutionary rebel. the people listening to this are going to wonder why they should leave you. you are still a specially designated global terrace by the united states with a $10000000.00 bounty on your head. your group is a prescribed terraced organization by the united states by the u. n. f i d u and others, no issue. ok. safety people don't judge by words, but by actions. i believe the reality speaks for itself. these classifications are primarily political and at the same time wrong, i sure defined

a terrorist as someone who intentionally killed civilians harms innocence or displaces people. and for being honest, many of the wars waged by major powers in arab muslim and even non muslim countries have involved in the deliberate killing of thousands, the destruction of homes, and the displacement of millions. even the regime itself is guilty of such actions . let's take a look at some headlines and how news outlets were referring to the militants a few years ago. versus now. they have evolved from the energy hottest group previously known as job outside to alshaun into revels. or in some reports, even damned opposition forces the to we are also i'm liter, as even a short cnn. he would guarantee the safety of all ethnic minorities in syria. many syrians are happy and will be happy to see the end of the said regime, but they're also worried about what

h t s rule would mean, including minorities. they still feel no one has the right to erase another group. the sects have co existed in this region for hundreds of years, and no one has the right to eliminate them. there must be a legal framework that protects and ensures the rights of all, not a system that serves only one sect. as i said, 3 team has done i, the, when the west or a, when i met a guy and the cnn on and all these when, when they uh, worked with them because they, uh, i think these, all the groups working under the natural and the wisdom guns to these. oh so uh they was, they, uh, 1st of all day, god, then they falls in and now they want to show them to the,

to the i'll use um to the people in the, in the water as well. that is just as, as the people we can meet with them with syria now turning into the middle east, late as hot bed of tension. neighboring israel is hard pressed to express a clear position on the matter or to use maria for an ocean. i looked into israel's as yet, undetermined the steps. the sweep advanced by militants and syria might have created a complex scenario for israel. on the surface it may appear as though the country faces stopped. i lemme neither victoria by the assad government. no, the opposition comes without risk or does it really? for me is really intelligence officer claims to have been in contact with syrian milton's who are allegedly open to normalizing ties with israel. a demo the today we support the rebels tomorrow. i don't know, but right now the rebel,

so against asset the are essentially against the triangle. a fast said iran and has block. they want to free celia from this triangle. we also want to get rid of around and has below. right. today we need to support the rebels in their wake, tomato, if they are nice to us, we'll support them as well. but not everyone in israel supports this narrative. i don't think it's true. i don't think it's really oh, this is the. whoever says that this serves the narrative, all the you are in the, the narrative over a see what the claim mean is that there is a spiel. those spears, if the already that the united states and that easily lot behind these a see what the rebels, this is the truth completely. it is true that we use why ensures coleman vote equipment of interest on these rebels because they want to dismantle the, in the you on indexes with the, with the, the,

the running the dishes and celia when they want to open the a bus awesome to redeem but it doesn't mean that they use right, and once that also that day is collaborating, what is that rebels? i don't say that this is true. so what outcome does is really, really want to see the foreign minister has made it quite clear. as one of you, we do not want to take sides in this matter. there is no good choice between the syrian regime of the jew hottest rebels. but some analysts suggest a multitude matic approach that there is the ripples. but if they said these are like interest, we don't google the on, on weekends, but they do the ronnie of industries. but that's what the is the police. and then he believes the benefit as apparently neutral. some syrian factions have no qualms about expressing gratitude. m. m. and we are fully aware that the iranian access

has become weak. it began to collapse after these really bombardment of hezbollah and its leaders. the axis was generally very weak and there was no resistance. the factions advanced was rapid and unexpected. we truly think is real for its defeat of this access. as well as history shows up for domestic, sometimes contradictory approach regarding syria for a long time and preferred a sod, whom it so as a more familiar eval over the care is brought to by islam is groups. yet it also explored the ways to exploit series and stability hoping to sever assad's ties with iran and his bola. now as the syrian government faces is great, distracted here is israel appears on states. when asked about the war by american journalist tucker, carlson, russian foreign minister say good law for all the looted the israel might even be benefit, change the islamic groups, the terrace you just described. who was backing them. will we have some some

information? and we would like to discuss what was all low, but this, in this, in this process, the way of to cut the general. so for, for financing and arming them the, the information which is being flo, the dent, it's in the public in the public domain mentions of the americans. and the breeds among gathers some people say that israel is interested in the, you know, making this situation that rates. so that does a, is not on the very close stretching it. it's a complicated game. many, many of those signs will stand the light hold the contents which we are planning for this week. we'll have to stabilize the city is so does is really,

really feel threatened by do held us across the board in syria. well in the past it's sort of didn't. israel was rarely the target for of kite o. i sits in one notable case the so called is lumnick state even said sorry after mistakenly attack and it's rarely forces. there was one recent case where dies opened fire and apologized. israel's dealings with syrian terrace go back here in 2015, it's repulsively provided aids to they all tied to it to lead us for a front fighters on the syrian boulder. we've assisted them under 2 conditions that they don't get too close to the border and that they don't touch the drew's. the form ahead of israel's intelligence agency massage, then defended what he called the countries humanitarian act. the critics argued, it served a strategic interest. the 3, i'll call you to fighters, we have a not his below you have. so we have a different account with these by the festival. when it comes to fighting

a kind of intelligence and in other areas, yes, we are together with the united states. so all of these things, okay, israel did not specifically was not specifically targeted by outside that and therefore it, it's a different kind of accounts. then we have was this by the click to as documents reveal how in the past stage, real. so serious case as an opportunity in 2012 and memo to then secretary of state hillary clinton, i'll use the toppling your thoughts through the night. as soon as she h conflict, we sent a new round scenario deemed beneficial for ease ro, in the fall of the house of a sod could well ignite a sectarian war between the she writes and the majority soon these of the region drawing and iran, which in the view of israeli commanders would not be a bad thing for israel and its western allies. this is a factor in the eventual fall of the current government of iran. and even before that, in 2000 and declassified us state departments,

documents suggested that the most effective way to help is wrote address around growing nuclear capability would be to support efforts to over from the side government. if you ron reaches the threshold of nuclear weapons, it will be much easier for to ron to call on its allies in syria and hezbollah to strike. it is real, knowing that it's nuclear weapons will serve as a deterrent to israel in response to a ron's own actions. let's go back to syria. it is the strategic relationship between a ron and the bush sharla side regime and syria that allows the run to undermine is real security, not by direct attack, which has never happened in 30 years of hostility between iran and israel, but through its proxies in lebanon, such as has by which are supported, armed and trained by iran through syria, the removal of the assad regime will put an end to this dangerous alliance. these really leadership understands perfectly well why defeating assault is now in its interests. so israel may still see potential benefits in the fall of a sad in the past. it didn't fail significantly,

threatens by groups similar to those now sweeping through siri and cities on the way to the mass coast. but could israel truly tolerate a victory by these jihad is forces? what these, these are, is literally the sped, these gay groups. these a jihad is groups be a right here is the sense, but uh they have the volume in the show. do they come close to the keys, right? this is a danger for these words, so he's only go everything to keep them away from the boat. it's very shortly. the is really interesting, is this, that this war between you run hands. it says below uh, in this job distribute theories. we'd be a little low and they will dispute each other blogs. and if we take a long time, this is, these are the answers. we don't want victoria for design questions, hang in the air has the situation evolves. israel's priorities and potential actions as well as inactions will come on the greatest course. any of the coming

days might reveal where israel truly stands, ready for an ocean on all t for a full team from jerusalem. to stay with us here on archie international, i'm back with much more about half an hour. i'll see you then by the take a fresh look around, there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really one say better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground?

can the i was suggesting re bomb bell. great. the, what's the other 2 products from the business that they put it there is boosting and as soon as you get those care of you on the market, especially if not to snag oakland vidas. if joshua he's actually like if they're not put in a.
