[000:00:00;00] the, the after 2 days of relative home riots reignite in georgia as pro e forces in the country still refuse to concede. despite losing the election. it is in fact and officially sanctioned to the rule of law is in an induced coma. romanian constitutional court scratched the results of 1st round the presidential elections and the anti war candidate who won the cause of decision, a former life, who would pause, protecting his victory in the run off. also, i had to, if i sincerely apologize to us citizens too must have been very surprised. south

korea's cousin asked for public forgiveness after plunging the country into turmoil with his shock of martial la declaration, the live in moscow on rachel ruble. you're watching our t international. we star in georgia where there's trouble on the streets for a 2nd weekend in a row and to government protesters continue to clash with police in the heart of the countries capital the . we have seen to know it's a relative calm, but it is friday night into saturday morning and we have seen

a larger crowd than we've seen for the past 2 nights back again here on this, the valley avenue in front of the parliament. now, once again, we saw the protest is throwing fireworks towards the police. that's despite the fact that there is a bond on the sale of pyrotechnics in the country because of that use in the protest. we also sold them throwing gloss bottles towards the police and then in response, we have seen the will to cannons, trying to disperse, 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 seen fi 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 there's quite a little bit of catch them us, 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 calls in these protests. now we know that executives from georgia dream, the ruling coffee, have said that some 30 percent of those who been protesting on the ground are actually from a broad on the georgia and prime minister himself has accused the outside sources 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 fridays, some of the court proceedings did actually stop and gain some of those individuals, including opposition, members of parliament here in georgia. and just before we sold this spock up the

violence again on friday night and saturday morning, we did see that there was stopping searches, taking place at the metro stations and not seem to of was 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. 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 cool. that's however many as the presidential front runner has branded the constitutional court's decision to cancel his 1st round election victory, and order a full rerun settlement. the romanian state has taken democracy. i'm trampled at the decision of the constitutional court represents the more you have just the

legal controversy of us this. it is, in fact they've been officially sanctioned cool because it will come from the rule of law is in an induced coma, and justice to subordinated to political orders has practically lost itself. is it? it is no longer justice. it is at their command. in such a state, not the we are no longer talking about just as a crack, but rather about simulate from that is 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 thing should be the democracy will. top court has ordered a full re run of the election, also stripping. mr. george ask you 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 incumbent romanian president and says he will stay in office until a new vote determines the next leader. some caldwell 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. i see it under the constitution of romania. the president executes his mandate until the end of his term until a new president is elected to marshal the. so i'm staying in my office until a new president is elect that the once a new president is sworn in, i will step down and say down there earlier r t correspondent on this stuff. do you have a lot in a joins my colleague, nicky, aaron in the studio to break down romania. is that political deadlock? oh jeff gray, one the 1st round of remaining presidential elections and he was meeting also in the opinion. polls ahead of sundays run off on projections showing that he would get 57 percent, however, judges of romanian constitutional court made the decision, often meeting a date on friday in context of receiving a large number of requests to

a no presidential elections. i'm 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 because the based on what decision and that is actually the interesting part 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 even the remaining and president himself obviously kept things quite vague, merrily hinting at one particular account of the h a. and he said that he received external support, which led to quotes decision. let's take listen to that. i'm documenting 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 go behind to jessica, who's come pay on 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 way. even the constitutional court itself, the height is likely all humans is currently floating around. and that's what makes this decision. so unprecedented a many politicians actually, oh, loosely speaking out even cooling this a to which i piece of or to jessica himself actually said in a statement, even actually his main rival spoke out saying that the democracy has been trampled just as an attack. this is the moment when the romanian state trampled on democracy . god truce the remaining people and the little 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 crosses the essence of democracy defense. so we have the income with romanian president, claiming this being for and meddling in the election. who else could possibly be involved beside spin, usable at west end. but would you mind that he's of course, russia? well, one interesting example to mention is more dave up because whether you come in, preston, my assigned to actually open a quote for his citizens to go inside. and my son to himself actually holds a remaining post boat and she made a statement of me calling out her citizens to go right for a 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, 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 are going to the polls again. the gosh, we will be electing the parliament and the president of romania to believe i will also go to vote. i urge you to vote for a strong european romania for a free country. when we look pad western media, they've labeled the independent kinds that georgia schools victory in the 1st round is quite a shock of well, most of the coverage of him has to be negative. does not come with a surprise. 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. i he himself. so says that he's pray romanian and this will comes as the incumbent romanian president is on the other side. and he's fully

behind nato on the west. even admitted the what is happening at the moment is uh so as to keep the pools that and that's listening to him until a door romania remains a steadfast in pro european country. so 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 located 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 solved for an, an independent. that's what we think the search candidates who advocate for actually national interest. we've seen what's happening in a room mania. we've seen what's happening in georgia with all these protests. and it's clearly as our attempts to, to stabilize the situation in georgia in particular. but, you know, at the end of the day change is inevitable. we spoke with a former president of the mold of and social liberal party who says, independent candidates like calen, georgia school are punished for their attempts to safeguard sovereignty. i used to

assist you, and if i was there was a student that the remaining elite has simply blocked a sense of a new political stock. and you please could lead the way that is cutting jo. jessica, one, the 1st round of the remaining, the presidential election, had a serious chance to claim victory in the 2nd round. at least many post by cirrus remained. companies indicated that you would wait until the decision of the constitution. the court is always legitimate because there is no one above the constitution of course, but of course, it causes distrust and outrage and more many more of the older petitions who represent the solving approach in international politics. they oppose the globalist approach and ultimately labeled as pro russian. it is quite old us that kenny and joel jessica could not escape despite either how close he's ties and whether they exist. that's all within the russian and lead. no one can onto that know when you and he rejects it. so we have to, i think what he's most the right. he has no serious ties with russia. he's just

a representative of that section of the remaining lead, the advocates, and i'd say, and we'll patch, we all take approach in conduction, 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 pro russian label will stick to him by boat. now to south korea, where the president has apologized for giving us that martial law order, which thrust to the country into chaos, you're going to use on the declaration of emergency martial law was driven by my desperation as president antonio. meaning i am ultimately responsible for state affairs. however, this has caused anxiety and inconvenience to the public as long as i am truly sorry, mean that 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 impose martial law for several hours on tuesday. well,

tensions with the opposition parties roiled in parliament. the declaration caused an uproar in the capital with hundreds gathering in protest and parliamentary and slashing was security forces outside the government building. the president justified the move as a way to counter and he said, i kennedy's and the pro north reinforces for the backlash has resulted in his defense minister resigning and you and himself facing impeachment. meanwhile, we spoke to south korean board. this then sean hung. so i here is part of that exclusive interview is on that on your i believe that since president hughes took you all came to power democracy in south korea has been on the decline of countries . leadership for helps as country to develop further and all that citizens to live in peace. i believe that under use to fuel democracy and south korea has lost brows because 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 martial law 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 intentions so that the people of that country will support this political came to south korea will go through many trials in the future. and i hope that it can become a democratic country again, of the 65 year old australian citizen born and south korea was arrested in 2017 accused of helping north korea obtain weapons of mass destruction. though the accusations were left and shortly after his imprisonment mister choice spent 3 years behind bars. he has now filed a suit against the estrella and government for what he calls the human rights violations he suffered in custody. well, he gains major public support during his in prison met with protesters across the street, la, demanding his release with choice, saying he was forced to plead guilty. his supporters considered him

a political prisoner. they've got the full story and an exclusive r t interview. the one do, 1st of all, i would like to thank you for this opportunity. i am very grateful to russia and russia today. i also want to thank my supporters around the world organizations around the world who have supported me and still support me in australia. i'd like to take this opportunity to thank you the season, so we're in early 2017. i was approached by an acquaintance moon j ends campaign headquarters reached out to me, proposing to set up a secret communication channel with north korea. the moon is elected president told me in april 2017. i met with a person from moon jay and campaign in hong kong to listen to the future president's proposal for me. they want it to create a secret communication channel for the benefit of the nation. without knowing

interference, i actively supported residential candidate and j, and from this residential campaign i made everyone think of console sue. as the 2nd lead me young back sort of created an election strategy and suggest to use the internet to shape told me. after that noon jay in became president. he feared that he wouldn't be in peach if it became known that someone like me had helped him get a leg. so he made me escape, go to cover his vulnerability and he asked the australian government to arrest me on charges of travelling and weapons of mass destruction and other on december 2017 . i was arrested then in australia and spent 3 years in prison, after pressure and support from around the world. i was released early in november 2028, and spent the next 8 and a half months in the harshest condition under house arrest year. i spent 3 years in prison in australia and suffered state repression and human rights abuses for the australian government pressured me to plead guilty while i was in prison. i spent

the 1st 3 months in solitary confinement. i was forbidden for meeting with my lawyer, calling him or using an a terminal, so they also destroy documents that should have been presented in court to put pressure on me in prison. so afterwards i was even denied medical can be unsuccessful. we petitioned for it for 8 and a half months. i was unable to get ahold of my health deteriorated. my diabetes worries endangering my life and i was only able to get medical care after i sent a letter of notice to the government was after a week of taking insulin 3 times a day and 1000 milliliters of diabetes, medication groups in morning and evening. he was admitted to the general hospital for 12 days, only with a memory loss. i asked the court to stop the proceedings against me, but i lost because the evidence was destroyed and so i could not produce at home. i appealed again to a supreme court, but the brilliant court refused to reconsider. since i guess i told anyone about it, and the world was holy man. but i have documentary evidence and everything i'm

talking about, and i will show it to the world later. chris sent a letter to president not here in the letter. i asked him to tell me why i have been made escaped, built and imprisoned for helping. i asked him to talk to the australian government and get me out. after i sent the letter, the korean ministry of information you as a person to meet with me. but the australian government, expensive amazing. it does not supply missile parts to north korea, flux, that's trillion federal police arrested me on suspicion of trying to show missile most of you on yet. and the reason i wasn't guarded for these charges is because i was arrested at the request of the south korean government. if i was going to supply rocket parts of the world market, i would need products to supply. i would need to have a technical foundation for selling materials for rocket parts to the federal police to no evidence and even searched my son's home in august, which yielded australia as the visual system was established for engaging his

people some 230 years ago. in our eyes, in the rest of the world, the australian justice system is a human rights based system. but my experience with it is that it does unimaginable evil. they take criminals into custody and give them a chance to reintegrate into society through strong traditional and institutional laws. however, i believe that australia is traditional system is very brutal. perhaps even worse than north korea's traditional system. i sent a letter requesting compensation for damages on 29th october. however, i have been informed that my letter was not received in australia and i am the office to investigate what post office confirmed on my letter was delivered to us trail. you buy it for the australian government was informed by the australian post . i'll tell you that my letter or not mr. sanders on the 4th of november. i think i don't remember the exact date, but i sent an e mail to the australian department of justice and embassy in moscow, russia. i sent them a letter, justifying my claim for compensation,

but have yet to receive any response from australia. in 2830 is waiting. so of a current member of parliament, i brokered a north korean coal shipment through a front company of the korean national intelligence service called the son networks . the south tree and buyers sent the ship to the port of non polar, but the north koreans refused to load it for political reasons. so after consultation with the korean buyer to whose interest were in question, the case was close caused with an agreement to buy again at a later date. prior to march 2012. no legal document or letter had been sent to me by any korean law enforcement agency in south korea. however, in march 2022, a 15 year old incidents that didn't even fit a civil case was twisted into a criminal house, making me an international criminal and wanted for a rest, an extradition by interval. this is an example of abuse of state power because the south korean government use that state power to turn a civil case into

a criminal case. and us on networks is currently building networks in ukraine. i believe that since president young's took you all came to power how democracy in south korea has been on the decline of countries. leadership. this helps that the country to develop further and all that citizens to live in peace. i believe that under human suki all with democracy in south korea as last round because the former prosecutor unit lacks some social experience. i think president unit has created a literal maelstrom and turmoil among the people. history and policies will continue to cause much conflict and confusion. he declared martial law in the country, which was lifted 6 hours later. it seems that because of his like the leadership skills, he took the matter too lightly, the leader of a country must be credible and sincere and his intentions. so then the people of that country will support these events. got me thinking about russian president putin's leadership almost perfect. then after 3 years of a special military operation,

the entire russian people and their leader continued to be united in common tasks will go down in history for the whole world. the russian people support president putin and rely on his leadership because his leadership is based on trust in sincerity. and the lack of leadership in south korea lead to these events and the political maelstrom, confusion and mistrust that will rain for months to come. politically. south korea will go through many trials in the future, and i hope that it can become a democratic country. again, declaring martial law is a serious event on a state, long martial law is declared when the country is engulfed by war or natural disaster, or when it is invaded by another country. partial places restrictions on peoples activities, controls the media and involves the military and all political affairs and activities for martial law was declared to easily and as easily lifted. 6 hours later, this declaration of martial law in south korea was the 1st and 47 years since the

beginning of 1980. this not just a political issue, but one of them will have a huge impact on the country's economy in the future this. i think president use approval rating will continue to decline. it will probably try out some 20 percent to 10 to 15 percent by declaring martial law president used to kill has driven himself into a trap. i think he be cleared, marshall low to avoid a domestic political crisis or he was pressured from outside and is now in a difficult situation. a president who has lost credibility to will not have the support of the people in the world will not trust such a leader to. and i believe that if he abused his power by declaring martial locks and grossly violating the constitution, he can be held politically and traditionally accountable. in fact, also career presidents when things went wrong, intended to blame all their problems on sonya and all of these leaders recovered from their own political crises by spreading false propaganda ocean demonizing, north korea for something it had not done this time. it's exactly the same, was the president said,

he declared martial lots to lead out pro north korean forces. but no one believed it. and martial law was lifted under pressure from the people in the national assembly. south koreans are now one likely to believe their leaders words about linking the situation to north korea. korea has always been regarded as a model democracy in east asia. i think this incident has embarrassed the united states as well. i don't know if the us border, the martial law announcement or the south korean government declared martial law on its own. but the us will be very careful. washington will be very cautious and restrained in its actions because everything it most at about could soon be alive if the paragon of democracy had talked about the turns into what it was earlier. i don't think south korea could declare martial law without washington's approval to the president. you had declared martial law without authorization from the us. once they would have recommended his removal from office.

i do think this case was probably misrepresented in the papers. the australian federal police sent me to prison. they arrested me and held me for 3 years on suspicion of trying to ship north korean missiles and weapons of mass destruction overseas. during those 3 years in prison, i called a lot about why exactly when south korea 1st asked the australian government to arrest me, here was a political move to make me the scapegoat they needed to also, to my arrest in australia at the request of south korea gave them the defense budget they most wanted. they cooperated with australia and south korea to use me as a scapegoat for their political purpose. at some i was interested in north and south korea. i did it because i want it to be a bridge between north and south korea so that they could understand and respect each other and so that there would not be a 2nd korean voyage. i thought a secret communication channel could improve relations between the 2 countries. south korea is a country without sovereignty,

acting under the direction and advice of the united states in all its diplomacy. and therefore, it cannot hope for the practical benefits necessary between nations for we thought that if a secret communication channel was established, we could pursue all the interest that both north and south korea had without corn interference. 1010 there, off the us wants to maintain tension on the korean peninsula to keep it strong position and also to q, south korea as a proxy in any future conflict with china. i'm more, i also think nato is engaging with southridge because it wants to get the troops needed in ukraine and the weapons they need. i believe that the special military operation in which russia acts on behalf of the whole world is necessary to restore peace and justice to the whole world. the special military operation will bring russia victory in the near future. how i was very impressed with how russia handled the chaotic situation and it's economic development. thank you. thank you. russia

and thank you russia today. the for the south korea born australia and became known world wide after becoming the 1st person to ever be charged under as fairly as 1995. that weapons of mass destruction asked for more details about chon han choice story. you can go to our website, r t dot com and do stay with us here on our t international. i'll be back with much more in just about half an hour. i'll see you then by the,

[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the africans of goodwill have no doubt to divide. you will find out for goodness, but also going to zoom has had no shortage of enemies from day number one. in the early days of its found and in the united states of america and in the caribbean, when the target was the colonized vision on freedom from slavery, there was no shortage of individuals. some 5th call, i missed who i recruited by the end. it'd be the box on tails that those of our

individuals such as sylvester williams. well, fort tales told the valley individual assigned to the vigil blow off port tales told how individuals late in the 60s will afford. and indeed, it is important to note that even in the context of the american civil rights movement, they also see a nation of individuals such as martin luther king junior or my uncle, max must be seen as us frog lined up. i gaze, but not so good. this is the continental wasik up the, when the struggle for the co, nice vision started in honest when african leaders on the african freedom fighters, while fighting flock for community. the struggle to eliminate those who died in the war and find out for countries was happening in honest in did went off, we can do, i had been to decide by
