the, the the, the ruling parties, nobody wins the presidential election, been georgia. that's us, the, are going pro western president red jack the result of the vote on refuse this, this step done. well, even before the election, the you have dismissed the results of illegitimate calling for sanctions to be placed on georgia, dream party officials and a joint letter also had this. these are the idea for board as a bonus service syrian towards the las vegas region on this really defense ministry . instruct scripts, the bridges for a winter in the buffer zone. in the country side on side korea's problem and folks doing page president june for his short lived martial law, attend the opposition goals for further consequences. on the noise suspended the leader of the nation.

the for a must go to the world. this is our to international and welcome to the latest weekend news route. we begin in the caucuses nation of georgia, where the ruling parties know many has been elected president, former motorist or city for, for me, tell you couple less really received over 2 thirds of votes from deputies in the countries parliament. georgia, as prime minister praised his appointment and said the incumbent head upstate though, has no other option, but to not step down. sure, i understand her feelings, but suitability will have to leave her post. i can only express my compassion for her. i am confident that the election of mikhail campbell i should be lead to the most important position will make a very important contribution to strengthening georgian statehood and our sovereignty. as well as reducing radicalism and polarization in our country. the election of a new president in georgia,

his term is due to stalls on december 29th us already being contested, not just by the protest, this would be not in the streets, not for 17 days straight, but also by opposition. members, he in georgia and the pro e president to the said she does not recognize the vote today. she does not recognize the parliament indeed, since it was convened off to the elections in october of this year. she took to the constitutional quote of georgia complaint saying that those elections weren't where you've had that they were reg. but the constitution quote rejected that despite the fact that 2 claims have been rejected by george's highest quoted and that can not be appealed. she continues to say she will not recognize these elections and she will not leave office when you get to it expires in the next few weeks. in fact, she described events that took place in the parliament behind me on saturday as being a power d. it's nothing nobody chose any one. nothing happened.

well, she has a touch of the dramatics about her does salumi sort of rush freely. and i say that because you might be able to see the very beautiful christmas news tree behind me. and she described us as being jails earlier because the fence is being directed around it. so i lady pumps from to little bit of the dramatics. indeed on the scenes behind you there are lossy pro tests. we know have been ongoing in georgia for quite some time. it appeared bustling at rather than anything else at the moment. or what is the situation? what, what are you feeling? they're off to the election to nice, but what's being talked about? yeah, that's why i mean, we've seen this huge chunk over the last 17 days. we saw when georgia dream announced that it was putting on the ice the tulips would be your opinion about joining the block until 202800000 people coming out to the st. smoke just increasing but across the country. and we sold nights of violent protests,

but really since these 1st few days, we have seen this movement though, i done massively inside some night. so you could say they would be lucky to be a 1000 people out in the streets. and right now what we see is a cool me for people you might be able to have them during minus engineering on the police, a block out once again. but this is a very small move compared to what we had seen at the beginning. you may see that some of the protests is the thing for the full behind this uh, that's the base of where you play for leasing. they're unhappy with the new president who is a former professional full. as the results came out, we saw black smoke listing into the yeah, the process limiting the idea of a comb clave in room when it went screw. well, i mean, posted in black smoke. so yes, the post has been chosen and stuff, and then they were indicating that this new president hasn't been chosen because he called me chosen because he's somebody that they don't recognize. now interestingly enough, the georgia dream, the ruling policies,

has said that the protests we've been seeing over the last 17 days have been focus straightened from the west. and in fact, since 30 percent of the $3016.00 out on the streets. no, i tells tonight to actually be from foreign countries and they have accused the west of trying to straight is something similar to the might in to, in ukraine 10 years ago. but they say georgia will not go down the same rates. as for the pro tests, we were able to completely neutralize the violent element. today, the radical opposition no longer has this tool. the only thing left is that about 2000 people usually gather on rest of haley avenue. on the other hand, there are more than $1120000.00 people who support a georgia dream for parties plus the richest and g o's together cannot gather even 2000 people. this is the real situation, which is very good for our country in georgia. the my don failed and will never happen. well, has it failed as the routing parties as well?

i think you can look behind me to say that this movement certainly doesn't have the inputs and the push that he did 2 weeks ago. yeah. before the parliamentary elections, it was the results that the e you wanted at lots see and brussels as well as quick the point thought i'd, has there been any reaction that regard to today using both thought rate, that reaction? yeah, as you said, the use already said that a believe the election supplementary elections in october, but we're illegitimate and it's been cooling, consistency for new elections in the country, supporting those calls by the current incumbent president of georgia. now in regards to 2 days election, we understand that the e u is looking to list some members of the written policy in the sanctions list. on monday, we don't have the names yet, but we understand that they will be members from the routing policy that will be announced. and that was something that was recommended by european m p. 's rehab in the last day's, almost

a fact finding mission. an interesting fact finding mission because they spoke only to opposition politicians. the protest is i'm the pro e president and moved from georgia in free. now we have also been hearing from francis emmanuel mac, one who is quite close to so that means we would appreciate the who's born in fox raised in farms and was with the french president in the last week talking to him about the situation in georgia. he has said that the accusations of georgia dream is made about the west interfering is not true. and she says, george's perm remains towards the renewal of been up with you does not oblige. europe offers paving the way for equal partnership prosperity and common values in europe. does not intimidate, does not use threats. the whole europe does not seek to so chaos. europe does not seek to destabilize or subjugate its neighbors, through war or hybrid means that you does not dictate what national interests are.

in particular, it respects the territorial integrity of georgia. well, the e u is wielding power if it lists members of georgia dream on its sanctions on monday. that is exactly what it is. do we know the baltic states have already made sanctions to some members of the ruling policy? full ready? so it wouldn't be surprised if we do see those names on monday as we understand the realities. now, we are about 2 weeks away from when the presidential office should be with you come and giving to the newly elected president. that could be a pinched point because the question then is, will that be a constitutional standoff pay in the country in a series? how will you react to that and will do is mack on says and respect the so for an interest of georgia, it seems from what we've been hearing. it was speaking a little earlier to me from typically c, r t charlotte to been see,

unless you said it's almost like play brussel to recognize the election as it called the results. a legitimate even before the process started. and we will take back to the european parliament and our member states a dramatic message requiring immediate action. it is our firm belief that the recent parliamentary elections cannot be recognized. the new parliament was inaugurated in breach of a stablished george and rules and procedures. in such a context, the election of a new president would lack legitimacy more over the level of repressions against citizens and independent journalists is unprecedented. and unacceptable. the you should immediately introduce sanctions against all those leading political figures who played a role in orchestrating the democratic backsliding, severe election violations, and a brutal violence against hundreds of peaceful protesters. when we heard from leading member at the global policy institute, the think tank george zamarelli is a, is the western approach to georgia is myer with double standards in the west has made

it a habit to recognize only those elections that result in the pro western candidates winning, even though those elections are clearly uh, fraudulent the case in point, was there a re election in mold over a few weeks ago of maya? some new and now, well, you know, the west has thrown its way behind a, a, a, a french woman posing is a georgian. some of them is, are a bit really, was openly advocating violence, openly calling for protest in the street over to the, a democratic election. and essentially that one of the western powers are supporting a woman who simply say, i'm not going anywhere. i'm just going to stay in the presidential palace this off to all the tools that we'd heard about how we supposed to recognize the democratic process and a peaceful transfer about when it came to what happened in the united states.

all right, let's turn attention to syria were another stuff to a former president of fees l. a side has been torn done by the hate to us estimates group which now rules largest wage up the nation. the bus to all of the father of recently hosted by charlotte could be seen being destroyed by militants and civilians in the vicinity of the most. cuz university multiple similar means of being removed by crowds all over the country. and reason. meanwhile is really war. planes have reportedly attacked targets on the outskirts of serious capital, as well as striking military installations near the city surrounding countryside. ahead of the idea of shelling targeted to ports in the countries northwest, it comes sounds is really run forces already operating in the so called buffer zone . this idea of flooded shows that it's late, his actions against reported government and military positions. it is rarely seeking to control a roughly 400 square kilometer demilitarize zone in serene territory. it's

a un designated area created after the 1973 are, is really war. and it's being patrol by united nations troops since following the cool president assad last weekend. the idea is probably the rates are false, the buffers old and is preparing the digging for quite some time. due to what is happening in syria. and there is enormous security. important to are holding onto the peak of mountain herman. everything must be done to ensure the idea of the readiness on site in order to allow the fighters to stay there in severe weather conditions. but it's really actions of spark international condemnation with accusations flying about cease fire violations. i'm exploring the chaos and syria to rob territory. this is one reaction from a senior un official about the breach of international law. just in, in recent days in syria, a destruction of the syrian air force when there are no pilots, because syria has no functioning government or military that can fly those planes.

at the moment. there is absolutely no basis on the international law or to preventively or preemptively disarm a country. you don't like. i mean, if that were the case, it would be a recipe. 5 global chaos because lots of countries have adverse raise. they would like to see that without without weapons, and this is, this is completely lost that there is absolutely no basis in international law or to do a germany in the united states supply 99 percent of the weapons exported to israel . they could stop this conflict of interest, us research and politician chris halle, who served with a theory in people's defense units and indeed fought against islamic state, gave us his take on why is real, seems to be operating with impunity in the region not. and i do believe that there is some evidence to point to the fact that i had talked about shawn, right? yes. has had some maybe back door agreements with the is really,

but is she that allowed it to carry out the operations that it did? whether it be intelligence or other i'm, i'm not sure exactly the full extent. regrettably, i think that the city and state as we know it, as we have known it, at least for the past 50 or so years is no more. i think that when we are actually going to see is a possible partition of syria with a part of the south that's going to be under the control of it's real part of the north, which is going to be controlled by to get. and then we might see little statements that emerge. we didn't see the given the security intentions and differences between out of the white space in drew's cards. and of course, the cindy. so i think that there's a great concern here that we're going to see a process like we didn't yugoslavia or libya today of bulk innovation. and i think

that's the great concern with the state as this as the story. and it's powerful as syria once was. we might see that overall dismembered at this point, and that's one of the tragedies of this ongoing situation. well, one of the foreign powers of play in syria is trickier, which is trying to wipe the syrian kurdish. i'm electing group, which i think are considers incorrect, considers excuse me, to be terrace. yeah, i think it's the elimination of the kurdish y, p g is a strategic goal. either they dissolved themselves or they will be dissolved and disappear. noodle auctions in damascus as well as the turkish flag raised over its embassy signaling the reopening of on chris diplomatic mission, the 1st time in a dozen years. in fact, while also becoming the 1st consulate to operate. since the fall of charlotte, turkish diplomatic mission was also in jordan, along with the united states on our oblique representative to discuss plans and

goals and syria is so named transitional power. no serene officials though were in attendance. the big news from sol this saturday, the south korean president has been impeached and there's no suspended from office . the national assembly voted to the one almost against unit suki, all remaining and power. his allies, the leader of the ruling party, has pledged to mix the ability to focus on some except the result with a heavy heart to i will write the wrong with the south korean people and protect the countries constitution and democracy. my judgment was that the suspension of the president's duty was urgent. i only thought of the country and people during that process. i don't regret it, and the constitutional court must now have confirmed that decision which is likely to end you and his presidential term officials of a $180.00 days to decide whether to dismiss the leader or restore him as the head of state. earlier this month, president hewn imposed martial law calling in the necessary to protect democracy.

lost it only a few hours the south koreans took to the streets in protest, while parliament voted to block the order. the opposition has called for you and to be held accountable. despite his apology, a drum or to join down, i earnestly plead with you to come together on the path to defend south korea, which has been defended by blood and sweat and our democracy. i will fight with you until the end. i want to apologize once again to the south korean people who were shocked and concerned with martial law declaration. please trust in my sincerity to use need on the suspension of the rebellion leader use. look, yours is just the 1st step and resolving the crisis. we will ensure that the impeachment of human suki all gets approved. we will not use our vigilance, puts until a thorough investigation is conducted to uncover the full scope of the incident and those involved and those responsible are punished due to the, the political, our quick comments i made the president's following approval rating,

which was 41 percent at the beginning of this term, it felt the less than half of that figure ahead of a short lived martial law attempts before collapsing to its current level of a level percent. it was shortly after the parliament vote demonstrators gathered outside the building to celebrate the president's impeachment. although the decision to ice, the conservative figure has garnered much mixed reaction on speculation among the public we do not think this is the end. we believe this is just the beginning for us to fight in any way possible. we, the freedom loving citizens believe that the president has this confidence because there is clear evidence of election food or some other reason behind it. i am happy, the impeachment was passed. i hope that the constitutional court will impeach the president, so people's lives can be normalized. as a citizen, i am happy and touched. they followed people's will and impeached you. and i want

to see you and to kill being removed from office as soon as possible. yeah, but it's not over yet. it's in earlier we spoke with a senior figure of the korean study center of rushes academy of science. he says the country finds itself in a political crisis because both the incumbent leader on the head of the opposition find themselves facing difficult legal bottles. the thoughts each task were real grounds for accusations against the president since june allegedly tried to arrest the members of parliament. while it is parliament, it should have approved martial law. in many ways, even suki all would prefer impeachment instead of resignation. he wants to explain his motives to the constitutional court and prove that there was nothing illegal in his actions. each, however, is more likely to be suspended after his resignation. early presidential elections will be scheduled and held, and here we must immediately pay attention to the fact that it is beneficial for conservatives to delay this whole process of democrats on the contrary, will do their best to carry out the new elections as soon as possible. the thing is

that human suki always main rival opposition leader lead jame young is involved in a number of criminal cases related to corruption and abuse of power. if the supreme court proves him guilt he'll, he will lose both his deputy status and the opportunity to engage in political activity for 5 years. as soon as the opposition leader received his 1st suspended sentence with 4 more sentences ahead, it became clear that the differences between him and the president were not political but personal. either the criminal justice system will imprison the leader of the opposition on real charges for the opposition will impeach the president. the president decided to cut the gordian knot, but did it extremely unsuccessfully and was now seeing the full range of consequences. but he intends to fight to the end. the unesco has fail to officially approve a report on journal is kill since 2022. that didn't mention the debts of russians. moscow was foreign ministry spokesman saves the exclusion. shows the double standard practice, by the way the western minority exposed itself completely by not expressing any

words of sympathy for the depths of journalists. now every time any of these countries talk about freedom of speech and the safety of media representatives, everyone will know that it is a lie, rushes unesco represented up stays the majority of non western states, either abstained or voted against the report in a show of rowing units in the global side of the country as union of journalist also penned the letter demanding the organization explained its initial spence well best channel wrote to the unesco director general expressing or discontent and provided a list as well of qualifying cases that were excluded from the report, according to president clinton, at least 30 russian journalists have been killed since the start of the trained conflict. us among them or to reporters from the top of you to be challenging something like clock off who previously worked for multiple 24 last year. ukrainian, strongly killed reading all of us,

the war reporter most to stop at you around floss, wounding 3 of his colleagues as well. other victims include on his best in the luxury correspondence on going to see a $24.00 journalist batteries mux food off. well, let's hear the view on this. know it from independent industrialist. sonya funding in de who's also spent consider real time as a war reporter herself. sonya good to see you. why do you think russian journalists were excluded from this unesco document? despite, we've talked about a many reports that the countries media workers helping killed by you training and forces that information that is out there to or that seems to be the ongoing agenda from the west. i mean there during the list of 70 important of course, from the west and they should be protected. this is what they approve of dating all the time in their media. but if it's a journalist from russia or even like me or others who are actually from the west,

going into the don't, does them, it's over for you, then you are not. i don't know, maybe they don't can. this is what's the definitely we can see from that. so they don't care though they don't say anything even. we'll also get a list and so on like the middle products list. so this is not important for them. the only thing what is important is from their own countries. the western countries may even like the stand in joined the list that there are many killed recently stay are not that important. sometimes they write something about it, but you know, this is how the west is working these days. i mean it's right. the rest of phobia, it's everything outside the west is nothing force. and then of course the labels as well kremlin report this, i mean, recently and a new article again that was like the kremlin reporter and so this is the west. this is how the west is operating. and yeah, this is their agenda. i think the mosque is off in the west that they don't care about other people. this is on the own, the early down journalist,

this is what is important for them. you mentioned that there are risk the full be enough for those people who think that isn't that thing. surely know this report what would make even them at pause for thought and say, well this isn't fully to main. what's going on here. the agent, the public, the world a public in the west, i mean, they should know and then shoes. if they read this, i hope they do, and i hope they see this of the think, oh wow. you know, these doing a list? well, they don't care about the anavia, they don't care if they are dying. there is they are killed in the don't balls or this is not so important. it's only our due on the list. i mean, i remember when they went illegally into course coming a few of them are now i think on trial trial in the sense of gore. so this is what is happening and they think they can do everything. there are allows everything and the rest of phobia is still very, very high and everything re, right? or re se about from the don't boss what happens. it's

a lie for them and this is how they operate. well i hope what you said, i hope the public in the west is now awake and see how the west is operating. there politicians are the institutions like eunice codes and services and this has gone back to the unesco at table for consultations. i think the word was used large part sonya because of pushback, from the global side. a lot of countries beyond russia is simply this made by this, this to tier reporting. yeah, i mean, what you said the global sales as well. i mean, this is something a say now for a long time already, the west is like a, like putting a new will, uh, like a sams. i mean everything they do is important and they still think they have the will touch them. i mean, this is how they think i how they operate, received us in many fields and also of course in journalism and also i said the institutions they have in the west like unesco,

where it's happening this thing about a joint a list day. it's like western orientated it's has nothing to do with the global styles. it's nothing to do with russia. it's only that they're countries and what's important for them. this is what they projects and nothing else. so everything outside it's life, it's not the existing for them. for it's the end of the, this is how they operate. since i think since the start of the special military operation, or of course before this already, we see that for many years going on with now it's like if i make so you know, it's like we are now living in this. yeah is, is crazy. we it will from the western countries and just the final thoughts on this when it comes to your next school. you know, you think of how much detail they've put into for instance, setting up you unesco heritage sites but years and years of fact checking etc. that seems to be throwing out the window and just, you know, again, we're going back to, to what appears to be one of the side, didn't this a reporting even up to nes, go,

which prides itself on, on being thought or yes, of course we received the receipt of the money sealed to know it. i mean this has nothing to do with the journalism but looking file back and let her know. this is a will heritage side. it shields, i mean, shelf and a weekly basis result don't be around syria, also it's more shell. so this is what they do. and it is, you know, crazy and i think we are back like in the cold for perhaps, i mean, we had this waller. now we have the digital wall, i must say. then we had a real wall from bricks. they turned it down but the digital is up again and this is going on and going on, going on. and also not only unesco, it's like united nations, it's like an international court. it's it's western orientated, and they live in a sort of bustle where every body outside this bubble is bad and is the enemy. this is what is happening right now. it's telling you just the final final thought,

you're a war reporter. if, if, for instance, your family or friends soul that you, god forbid, but something happened to you and you on, on something happened in the course of work. and you died on your family so that your name was not on a list beside other people who died as, as media workers. that would just make you feel, you know, even more against the west. but then perhaps what you next to is trying to do here on trying to pin countries closer together. they're doing the opposite. of course, i mean to people are full of anger then. i mean, imagine that you are that and nobody gets something about. yeah, because you know, it's just you're on the other side of the fence for that. so yeah, this is so horrible and this is so i'm just do a lot of people who put their lives in the line, you know and died the and this is horrible. because they're out there telling the truth, let them people know what is happening and they are not hurt. and they're not even mentioned in the west. and this is, bill isn't crazy, it's,

it's terrible. it's like we are no humans, we can say there and we are nothing back to your like say for them. maybe i don't know. i have to call it but we i'm not worth anything. yeah. it's less than 2 main, isn't it? sonya thanks is always for your time it especially if the weekend good to see you on to talk to sonya of funding in the independent dutch during this live on our team. thank you. bye. have a nice evening. thank you or a change of pace. busy finally, something quite to it's beautiful, it's kent, a cloth from ghana and it has been added to that organization. we were just talking about the unesco intangible cultural heritage list, getting this one right, at least the ancient hyundai cross will join the organizations global catalog of objects, traditions and cultures to be protected globally. more like target is kentoya is used to commemorate special events in the west african nation. the tech style has hung rich look at this hundreds of different patterns, each having a unique meaning. weaver study the craft of producing can take for years before

they can make their own patterns local, pre it or something. speaking on the meaning behind with this, every color using can do we mean also who is this and what is in for example, using that collab blacklight. this represents much unity, spirituality, and also united states on long as this is why the red color lip is in passing the blue for now from when you and peacefulness. among many on this, we have the most complex designs which are the triple. we would design this being an example sort of cost a self is called a getting a saw the most public and the clock with, i believe, you know, most people either have seen before. so i did as a means the ends of all designs and ideas. and john, a tied to a, making this blog decided to put every design and every idea they had at that time into the clock. now this month, russian, i'm sorry.
