the most eating good is the after 2 days of relative calm riots reignite and george as pro e forces in the countries still refuse to, can see that despite losing the election it is in fact and officially sanctioned to the rule of law is in an emptiness. a coma, romanian constitutional court scraps the results of 1st round the presidential elections, and the anti war candidate who won the vote called the decision of formalized who was full, was predicting his victory in the run off. also i had, i sincerely apologize to us citizens who must have been very surprised. south korea's ruling party m p's, walk out of parliament boycotting

a boat simply to present you. that's after the leader. apologize for plunging the country into turmoil with his shock martial law declaration the live in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. this is archie international. we start in georgia where there is a trouble on the streets for a 2nd weekend in a row anti government protesters continued to clash with police in the heart of the country's capital. the we have seen tonight's relative. com, but it is friday night to 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 protesters 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 protests. 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 the list of 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 t, a 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 old insignia. of course, the notorious ukrainian as a battalion and 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, the ruling coffee, have said that some 30 percent of those who've been protesting on the grant are actually full of broad on the georgia and prime minister himself has accused the outside sources west. he means by that to straighten 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 start again. some of these individuals, including opposition, members of parliament, he and georgia. and just before we sold this spock up of violence again on friday

night into 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. 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 how romania is presidential front runner has branded the constitutional court's decision to cancel his 1st round election victory, and order a full rerun step. when the romanian state has taken democracy, i'm trampled at the decision of the constitutional court represents more than just

a legal controversy. justice, it is in fact that have been officially sanctioned cool to control. the rule of law is in an induced coma, and justice subordinated to political orders has practically lost its essence. it is no longer justice. it is at their command. in such a state that we are no longer talking about justice, but rather about a simulacrum that betrays 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. the supreme shipping of the top court has ordered a full rerun of the election, also stripping mister georgia, screw up his chance to win the run off falls showed well over half of romanian voters would have back to him in round to the income that remained in president says he will stay in office until a new vote determines the next leader. some combs,

all gods. i received materials from the minister of home affairs that show quite serious conclusions. and i urgently convened the security council. i'm of what the new government of romania will establish a new date for the presidential election as see 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 mazda. so i'm staying in my office until a new president is elected to once a new president is sworn in, i will step down the dollar earlier r t correspondent on a stuff. so you have a lot in a 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, judges of romanian constitutional court made the decision often meeting today on friday in context of receiving a large number of requests to

a no 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 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 the 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, merrily hinting at one particular candidate. and he 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 to jessica who's come pay 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 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 many politicians actually, oh, will say, speaking out even cooling this a to which a piece of or to adjust the 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 romanian 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, respected 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 this being of thor, and meddling in the election, who else could possibly be involved with beside spin, usable west in 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 the code for his citizens to go inside. and my son to himself actually holds a remaining impulse both and she made a statement, opening, pulling 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 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 do your 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 the west and media, they've labeled the independent kinds that jose, yes goes victory. and the 1st round is quite a shock of well, most of the coverage of him has be negative. does that come with us twice? why exactly? is it 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 of 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 course that and that's listening to him to let the media remains as steadfast in 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 locally 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 silver and an independent. that's what we think 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 it's clearly those 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 mold of and social liberal party, who says independent candidates like collins or jessica, who are punished for their attempts to safeguard a 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 he's cutting jo. jessica, one, the 1st round of the remaining and 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 win 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 them on many 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 who is that? kenny and joel jessica could not escape despite either how close his ties are and what do they exist? that's all within the russian and lead. no one can onto that now when you and he rejects it, we have, i think 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 also take approach in conduction, domestic and foreign policy. but such quotations. i'm not favorite in the west now . so of course, you will not be able to avoid accusations, and these pro russian labor will stick to him. well now to south korea where the country is ruling party m p staged a parliamentary walk out, the law makers are refusing to vote on president use 2 goals. impeachment the move has paralyzed the bill, which is now short of the $200.00 members required to pass it earlier. the president apologize for giving a snap, marshall order of thrusting the country into chaos. on the one piece on the declaration of emergency martial law was driven by my desperation as president, meaning i am ultimately responsible for state affairs. however, this has caused anxiety and inconvenience to the public illness. i am truly sorry, and i sincerely apologize to all citizens who must have been very surprised. i will

not avoid the legal or political responsibility regarding this declaration of martial law una, impose martial law for several hours on tuesday. of all the tensions with the opposition parties roiled in parliament. the declaration caused an uproar in the capital with hundreds gathering in protest and officials flashing with security forces outside the government building. the president justified the move as a way to counter and to state activities and pro north reinforces, but the backlash has resulted in his defense minister resigning. and you and himself facing impeachment, i mean, always spoke to south korean barton, this event, chan. honcho i, here's part of that exclusive interview is 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 helps its country to develop further and all that citizens to live in peace. i believe that under use took you all democracy in south korea

has lost ground 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 martial law and the country which was lifted 6 hours later to it seems that because of his lack of leadership skills, he took the matter too lightly. so the leader of a country must be credible and sincere and his intentions so that the people of that country will support him politically. 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 announced it has forged a strong defensive line and the raw and just to a, to provinces. this comes as terrorists have attacked the military tub points in the southern territory,

this explosive military footage. so siri and forces and the northern have my province after its troops for re deployed from the main regional city. fighting has intensified in neighboring homes province for the army has rebuffed and terrorist attacks on surrounding villages. russian aviation assisted the government with strikes that destroyed the militant strongholds. moscow says the joint airstrikes have eliminated at least $200.00 terrace and destroyed at several arms depots over the past 24 hours. on the on slot is being led by the highlight to rear alshaun faction, formerly known as old kyla in syria, as designated as a terrorist group by countries including russia, turkey, and the united states. but that hasn't stopped the western media from giving the group's leader a platform. well, calling him a revolutionary rebel. people listening to this are going to wonder why they should leave you. you are still a, 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. by the you and others, no issue. okay. 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 should defined a terrorist as someone who intentionally kills civilians harms in the sense or displaces people. for being honest. many of the war is waged by major powers in arab muslim, and even non muslim countries have involved the deliberate killing of thousands, the destruction of homes, and the displacement of millions. even the regime itself is guilty of such actions . here's a recent headline labeling the syrian militants as diversity friendly. just a few years back west or news outlets presented a different story to rear alshaun was considered menacing while it was openly

linked to al qaeda. but it's the hottest reputation has been diluted, and they are now referred to as rebels or simply opposition forces. as some of odd telegraph editor in chief customer, our class read told us the west is once again using a double standard on syria. that we have seen in the fall, so i'm not as good as well as fuel stand by. this comes around the sun. there probably couldn't be size that sort of bond over there. then we talked about it off the top of the other parts of the bar. did have been decided to do an attacking the tire from anyone in the pockets on when i was i is this other kind of risk of attack depressed american should have shown do and don't understand. the understanding is a kid is there and see if somebody is the kind of boost who is the working on their agenda. definitely the last of the napkin was for them. and the for sally

did the name of there would be uh, you know, as a full of that title was cool. i do not. certain media is actually it. do i need to have been chosen the falls by uh uh, you know, by the best them done and back and uh in the process. so history is repeating it, sir, and the one has blocked, you know, the job was done to the best doing eliza america. and this is just enough on switching done. this is just continue with the all the different strands of supplements and then to rest on the line with syria turning into the middle east, latest hot bed of tensions, neighboring israel is hard pressed to express. a clear position on the matter are to maria from national looks into israel as, as yet undetermined incense of this waste advanced by militants and syria might have created a complex scenario for israel. on the surface it may appear as though the country

faces a start date. lemme neither victoria by the assad government. no, the opposition comes without risk or does it really? the former is really intelligence officer claims to have within context 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 start against asset. they are essentially against the triangle a fast said iran and has block. they want to free cd or 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 will 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 through it all. eh, this is the, whoever says that it serves the narrative. all the you are in the,

the narrative over is celia, and that's a claim. me is that there was still those spears if the already that the united states and that easily lot behind these a suicide ripple. this is the truth completely. it is true that we use why ensures coleman bolt, the common interest on these rebels, because they want to dismantle the iranians axis. with a, a, with the a and b, radi, militias, and celia, that they want the top of the a bush awesome to redeem. but it doesn't mean that they use, right, and once that's also that day is collaborating. what is that rebels? i don't see 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 and the g. hottest rebels. but some analysts suggest that multiple

medic approach that there is for the ripples, but if they said these are the interest, we don't care where they are on weekends is that they do the ronnie of industries. but uh, that's what the, a sort of, i know the more police and emily's the benefits as apparently neutral. some syrian faction is, have no qualms about suppressing gratitude and them. and we are fully aware that the iranian access has become weak. it began to collapse after these really bombardments of hezbollah and its leaders. the axis was generally very weak and there was no resistance. the factions advance was rapid and unexpected. we truly think is real for its defeat of this axis. as well as history shows at pragmatics, 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 to groups. yet it also explored the ways to exploit series and stability hoping to sever assad's ties with

iran. and his bola now is the syrian government spaces is great to scratch. and here is israel appears on seized when asked about the war by american journalist tucker, carlson. russian foreign minister said good law for all the alluded, the age row might even be benefit, change the islamic groups, the terrace you just described, who was backing them? well, we've have some, some information and we would like to discuss what was all low but this in this, in this process, the way, uh, to cut the general so for, for financing arming then 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 others. some people say that these are, it was 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 their site involved then the like hold the content switch, we are planning for this week. we will have extend realize that city is so does, is really, really feel threatened by jihad 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 is in 2015. it's repulsively provided age 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 country's humanitarian act. the critics argued, it served a strategic interest. the 3 i'll call you to fight is we have a not his, but all we have. so we have a different account with this by the 1st of all when it comes to financing kind of tied up in intelligence and in other areas. yes, we are together with united states, so all of these things, okay. israel did not specifically was not specifically targeted by outside that i'm definitely, it's a different kind of accounts then we have with 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, all good, the top pull in your thoughts, good ignite as soon as she age conflicts, we can

a new round that 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 department documents suggested that the most effective way to help is wrote a draft 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 ba 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 blah, 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 from siri and cities on the way to the mass coast. but could israel truly tolerate victory by these jihad is forces? what these, these are these where it is that these day groups, these are jihad disproves the a lot. here is the offense, but uh they the volume in the shows. if they come close to the boat, the look use way. this is the 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 wrong and it says below ok and this job distribute. so theories would be a long will and they will spill each other blogs and it's ridiculous. thank this is these are the interest because ones victoria, for the side questions hang in there. as the situation evolves. israel's priorities and potential actions as well as inactions will come on the greatest course any. and the coming days might reveal where israel truly stands, ready for an ocean on o, t for floating from jerusalem. all right, well that is going to do for me for now, but do stay with us. my colleagues, jessica taylor will be in next in about half an hour with morning. the . the

plan option are 10. see and welcome back to going underground rule. gusting all around the world from a middle east, with nato proxy forces, in concert with israel and al qaeda trying to ever throw governments not only in palestine, but in lebanon in those syria. this is nato, finally de simon and defeat and its proxy. war and russia through ukraine, all these issues and from the british is riley genocide in gaza, to nato a nation attempts to destroy everything from venezuela in this a health and south east asia. a given the propaganda treatment into tyler terry in so called western newspapers, tv, cinema and literature. but there are some who have expose the lies in the rackets a rogue report versus the american empire co founder of declassified you came. i cannot delineate something of the systematic corrosion, while few managed by imperial forces. no wonder it comes into us to buy long term

friends of going underground jump hills, you know, i'm john, ski and juliet's on dramatic joins me now from london. now thanks so much for coming on. i want to book uh the, the rackets is, it's been a week where even major propaganda media like comcast sky news, warner brothers is cnn. that'll own mouth piece is like your or our v. c. have found it difficult to explain to their audiences, i think how it is that they support l guy to in syria. how does your book, the racket give us the dimension in which to understand why the bbc and john simpson people are on the well? well know these people, uh, actually no 1 may know what cnn is given by their viewing figures. but why the media are, is completely up to they, they want to support those links to the atrocities in $911.00. yeah. what is interesting, isn't it. i think it goes to the hall.
