the, the south korea's impedes, the president is detained and is expected to send trial over last month of declaration of martial law into fuel reject charges of insurrection and abuse of power, but says he wants to avoid the blood shed. also ahead and delivered on the present, the outgoing us secretary of state anthony blanket as well. like i told, as he attempted to lay out a plan for a long promised get bill and delivered deal between israel and come on that says a growing number of id. i'm just refuse to serve as a demand a ceasefire. that's the time when i have to say, i'm not, we're not gonna,

we're not gonna play along with the same anymore. bus moscow says it's troops up, take it yet. another settlements and don bad russians, horses, launched precise airstrikes, the new planes military industrial power grant, the live in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. we start with the developing situation in the south korea where impeached, president uses your, has been detained for questioning by investigators. and sol is expected to stand trial on charges of insurrection and abuse of power over his brief declaration of martial law. in december, in the video of message released after he was taken into custody, mister hughes strongly rejected the case against him on top of dental. unfortunately, the law has completely collapsed in this country. seeing that warrants are issued by agencies without investigative authority and courts without warrant review

authority or issuing arrest warrants in search and seizure warrants, and seeing investigative agencies issuing false official documents to deceive the people. committing a legal acts upon a legal act and forcibly proceeding with procedures based on invalid warrants. i cannot help but feel regretful as i do not approve of the investigation by the corruption investigation office for the time being as a president who must protect the constitution and legal system of the republic of korea. responding to such a legal and invalid procedures is not an acknowledgment of this, but is merely a desire to prevent an unpleasant bloodshed present in units giving himself up here saying that he just wants to prevent bloodshed, but also saying that he completely disagrees with the decision of corruption investigators to detain him, saying that he's a completely innocent that he has not done anything illegal actually. and this is sort of added on by the media reports that we're hearing now that you and is not being very cooperative with the investigators who are with him during his custody

right now. i mean, according to you and he declared martial law in the 1st place, not to break the law or anything but to protect the countries constitution and it's legal system. but for the opposition, they're not buying that. they're saying that he's trying to evade justice. and that he needs to resign, pulls that to you, and did not respond to the anti corruption agency summons and force the authorities to issue detainment warrants twice a year and has been displaying and extreme attitude of contempt, emulation, and disregard toward the law. i ask the respected justices swiftly and firmly make a decision to terminate june and couldn't take us through the events leading up to where we all today. well, when the south korean president declared martial law for the 1st time in 40 years, mind you, he said that it was to combat and t state and communist forces. and it seems like we're talking about the opposite. listen here because he said that they work, colluding with north korea, but for the opposition, they're saying that it's the president that's putting the country in danger by

provoking the dpr k and risking a wider uh escalation june. so you won't hesitate to cause great destruction for small benefits. there was a high possibility of him endangering people's lives by provoking north korea, closing chaos near the military demarkation line, and in the end closing and the clash, the citizens, you have to find by all side, the number of provocative actions have taken place under his administration according to investigators, the south free and government had already sent drones into north korean territory. add to specifically provoke the government there and create a pretext for this implementation of martial law. after verification, we have confirmed that a south korean drone was indeed sent to p on yang. the defense counter intelligence command appears to have planned a drone dispatch. interestingly enough, even young yang state run media has commented on humans and position of march. the

law saying that it was insane and that it was reminiscent of countries past military dictatorship. but washington's express little more than so called serious concerns. no doubt because the president of south korea is an ally of the us who continues to facilitate america's military occupation of his country. but can you imagine if this was all happening in the democratic people's republic of korea? washington would likely have a lot more to say about it, and so they got, but even before the big scandal erupt in december, soft twins weren't quite happy with prizes again. that's right. back in december i mean use popularity fell to a record low 11 percent. and this is something that likely has a lot to do with his support for sending weapons to the key of regina. because as of now soul is only sending humanitarian aid to key of and a mirror, 13 percent of south korea actually wants to see weapons added onto that. there's

a major talking point of the opposition that the president's hawk is stands is really a slap in the face for the will of the people supporting sending lethal weapons to ukraine directly goes against the will of the people. why is our government only thinking about directly jumping into a war that is happening in a foreign country far away? promoting a military crisis in order to resolve a political crisis is a great sin against our people in history. now this isn't the 1st time that the authorities have tried to detain the president either a couple of weeks ago. they showed up at his residence and they were unsuccessful in attaining him because hundreds of the president's supporters came to physically block them, not allowing them to enter the residence. so with him surrendering voluntarily. this time we're going to have to see how the story ends up unraveling. there's been a remarkable lack of reaction to the events and so. busy from the south tree is main ally, the united states. we discussed this with r t contributor carl josh,

who says washington appears to be down playing the case against the detained president. for she has been hunter donnelly's bunker for 11 days. there's a barely, any coverage in the western mainstream media. when this did happen, all the major create a newspaper are reporting that the president june has finally been arrested. the new york times of washington post r r r r. having title is the president you is being detained, i mean the painful, why do you seem to be paying for a traffic violation? this big arrested for char on charges of interaction is a very serious charge. they're trying to make it seem as it's not a big deal. and i think what happened is you're really screwed up his timing. she would probably have gotten no way with it if he had down his sales group one year earlier when he had full backing of the vitamin ministration. this was a long thought process as people have pointed out. they have tried to put both

north korea into a war in order to justify this martial law in position. according to bilateral treaty of south korea and united states in time, a more united states as soon as operational control of the south korean military. so there's no way that the south screen military would have done this on their own use. their intended purpose was to provoke a conflict. there is no way they would not have done. they would have done this without informing and getting go ahead and approval from united states. this and from what we have, i have observed us. they have been very silent about the price that your school only see. they say it was a we are firms are higher and clack, committed to south korea. next he's been called bloody blinked and, and the secretary of genocide in a speech outlining a post to our plan for god's or the outgoing us secretary of state was repeatedly

heckled. and interrupted, we strengthened americans over the entourage and delivered on the present funds. the thank you, i respect your views. please allow me to share a thank you the so to continue these are the goals that i've worked to advance over a dozen trips for the reasons. 6

the all of this has been part of an all of administration. every piece in the region always has what year is it hard? yes. is it impossible? no. well, the answer is real cents a minute is growing bigger ahead of the deal had. ironically,

a lot of the anger is brewing in the west, where washington has positioned itself as a relentless mediator working to secure they still have been trying to outpace as well on its own issue. secretary of state, blinking were simply claimed that the ball is now in her mazda is cord. i sure we're in the israel accepted a draft proposed by egyptian kentucky. and the american mediator is even though prime minister and into the echoes own office. hasn't confirmed this yet. we also hearing from arrow middle is sources. the israel is it will still need to ready 5, a sale a have my success says a step that hasn't happened yet. the outgoing you ask. ministration is racing against the clock with less than a week until trump takes office, but public frustration is also spilling over a home to the incoming trump administration. expect it to be formal pro israel then by this at a sentence. confirmation. hearing forward from speak for defense secretary protest

or is interrupted proceedings to voice their anger. sorry in this war, fighting accountability the, [000:00:00;00] the well, the nominee ultimately it's me to it's just supporting israel's war in guys on and

stated that he wanted as we had last fight or killed. this is how he earned the label of christians zine this. let's take a listener, another protest or i think this one was a member of code paint, which by the way, is a chinese communist front group these days. said that you support israel's war in gaza . i support israel's x a central war and gaza. i assume like me and president trump, you support that works well, don't you, senator? i do, i support is real, destroying and killing every last member of i'm us also earlier on monday pro palestinian protest or is gathered outside the state department during biden's final foreign policy speech slamming and his support for israel. some banners at the bend. read findings. legacy is genocide. it wouldn't be hostage slash seized by ado comes through now. it feels like it's too little too late for too many. in the best case scenario starting sunday,

we could see a 40 to die. cease fire as the 1st phase of the deal with such a 3 hostages released by him off in exchange for hundreds of palestinian prisoners . how realistic is that? well, cuts hers foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed, but talks indo hub in the final stretch and have been productive and positive. but he also warned not to get hopes up too high until there was an official announcement. it's very important not to over a raise the expectations to a level that to doesn't a link to what's happening on the ground right now. we are, we do believe that we all got to develop stage. we do believe that we are at the final stages, but obviously until they have an announcement they will be no announcements and therefore we shouldn't be a very excited about what's happening right now. but certainly we are hopeful that this would lead uh, very soon to 20 payment. also,

let's not forget that the deals release plan is very slow faced over at least 2 months. have us will release 33 hostages during the initial stage while the rest will follow in the next phase. 90 h captives occurring to be held in gaza with $64.00 of them believe to be alive and the clock is ticking for them. and many families fear that those set to be released in later stages may never return. if the deal falls apart, they are pushing for all hostages to be released, the ones, but no matter the hopes of fears, the deal is still not finalized. then we have to wait and see. with the csr tops dragging on for over a year, there's mounting unrest within the as riley military. the group of $200.00 id f troops have signed a joint letter stating they refuse to fight while demanding its fruits. the soldiers say they are only the 1st of many who feel the same way and have urged

others to come forward. when you're burning down the house. when you're uh, doing something very severe for absolutely no military reason. then that's the time when i have to say, i'm not willing to participate. soldiers who served during this war, signed a letter saying we're, we're not gonna, we're not gonna play along with the same anymore. enough as enough enough. enough manipulation, political manipulation of this war. uh, we're not going to be plans in your war anymore and we're raising our voice. meanwhile, the israeli military has launched more strikes on guns, hitting a school turn to shelter, as well as several homes across the enclave. at least 24 palestinians have are part of they've been killed since don. this wednesday we spoke with one survivor of a previous idea of the attack that left his entire family dead. you had to quit such a young man named mash mood. so carlos is 22 years old, looks bitterly at the documents that have become his only treasure. yes,

they are the death certificate. so his family who left him alone off to the israeli army, took the lives of 17 members of his family, were killed in a residential neighborhood in the shape. read. one neighborhood of guys are sitting on that day. i was away from home for a few hours, and suddenly i received the sad news and then all my loved ones had died and i couldn't believe it. i was at a friend's house and rushed to the hospital. there i found my relatives of the dead martyrs were lying next to each other. 17 members of my family, brothers or cousins, or elderly family members, my nephew and his mother. but these are the death certificates of my relatives. every last one of them here they are just a few hours ago. i was at home with them and then suddenly came the terrible news that they were all dead. my mood mama has become a hostage to the tragedy of lost and the slight helplessness and the memories of the days he spent surrounded by his family. but now all can do is remember them

weeping at the loneliness of being deprived of his family. and at the moment, i am alone among the rescue g as though why day, and it is a hard feeling to be alone when you have no relatives, no brothers, no mother or father or cousins. they were there once. but they were suddenly blown up on the screen of my you. how was the young man who tries to escape from his painful reality and find the slightest ray of hope in a dark tunnel? the plants plants around his pen, remembering how he once vowed to his twin to have their wedding together. on the same day, i'm waiting for the family to be buried so i can visit them in the cemetery. and i, but however, the occupants miss lyles shunted those dreams of killing hope and shattering desires. i had a twin brother with whom we always went to work and came home together. before the war started, we were striving to realize our goals, but now no dreams will come true, especially for my twin, my younger siblings just after losing my relatives life lost its meaning because my strong support was gone to the phone. and this is just one of hundreds of human stories. hundreds of families in gauze that have been completely removed from the

states and civilian population register as a result of the conflict in which the israeli army has targeting civilians in an attempt to home as many innocent people as possible. yeah. we can cross now to amman and speak with united nations childrens funds spokesperson tests. ingram tests good to have you on the program with us us secretary of state anthony blinking has expressed optimism about a gaza cease fire agreement saying that it is ready to be concluded and implemented . if a mazda agrees but the terms, but previous, a similar plans for a deal with israel have collapse to do believe that things will be different this time. whereas certainly very hard. so then i think that is what we have to be at this point. there is, as we say, noise that this could be in the moment. and so the children of gaza, it really needs to be. we've seen more than $14500.00 tools on report as i killed since the will began in the beginning of october and many more had they lived shot

that every single day that this goes on, children pay the costs of the war. and i think that needs to be front of finding these discussions that we're talking about. civilian lives, especially children's lives. since the states far in lebanon, was brokered in november. israel has reportedly violated at more than 50 times, even if there is a cease far with a mos how can anyone be sure that the same thing? what happened and does after a similar deal we can be show up at the wells. eyes must be on gaza after any sort of say 5 deals to make sure all the tardies meet this, these fire obligations and those with influence the parties that support these parties to the conflict. they have a key role to play and making sure that they help us stay so that they are tell it because again, we're talking about civilian lives, ability moving. and of course, the man is here and what is on the ground, who a tirelessly trying to support them and given the dire humanitarian crisis and gaza,

what sort of relief efforts do you expect to be negotiated under the proposed to deal just coming on the proposed deal, but i can say that what's really important to us is that we to get more a quickly at the moment where averaging about 46 trucks of humanitarian aid every day. and that is nowhere near enough to, to 1000000 people. particularly when you think about this, i used to get 500 trucks a day in before the war. and of course, the needs have escalated dramatically since then. so we really need to scale of that a to make so all that we can get it into people and get it to wherever they are in the gulf stream. of course though, there are challenges in doing that. the security conditions on the ground, the very difficult we see increasing learning from criminal games. the roads are still in disrepair. so there's a lot that needs to happen to make sure that not on the age of getting to because the street, but it can get to those families who really need that and looking at head,

what can the international community do to ensure the postwar recovery of gaza, i think, you know, the most important thing right now is to continue to support kohls for as a fine, we need to get the side of the line. and then within that sci fi period, we need to make sure that you mandatory and agencies like you to have 10 doing that job. once that happens and west through that kind of immediate period of response, then we need to start looking at recovery and rebuilding of each national communities role that is enormous. we really made the central community step up to provide support to provide funds and expertise to help the community. this thing does a rebuild, right. we're going to live with our united nations childrens funds spokesperson tests. ingram test. thank you. a rush. those defense ministry is reporting fresh gains on the don bass battlefield. the settlement of a crank in the doughnuts for public has been taken up by moscow's forces. russian command also says high precision air strikes were launched at ukraine targeting

energy facilities connected to the military, industrial complex, as well as arms and munitions. you 5 trained the latest advancement on the front, several ukrainian units of clips with western supplied vehicles and artillery were destroyed according to moscow which added that say, i've lost more than 1500 troops just over the past day. meanwhile, ukrainian veteran, neo nazi officers, are attempting to justify cabs drive to send more citizens to a war. it is losing the commander of a re branded as of vitality and has detailed the disaster on the front floor promoting more mobilization. the principal or the situation is complete, it is just like everywhere else, a task is assigned to a brigade when it should be assigned to an entire division, as everyone knows but of our senior commanders like to have us answer according to regulations. but they like to set tasks, absolutely not. according to regulation. certainly, look,

our brigade is told to defend 50 kilometers upfront lines of us while all those 50 kilometers are under attack of the if you said inadequate tasks and then don't be surprised when you get inadequate results sample for themselves, you credit is on the back foot across the front lines move in a 1000 kilometers, is that the frontline stretch, every way you credit you, it's all hard press to hold on for for more than a week onto on what the uh, what they control today. one of the problems is, of course, that is exacerbated the issue is of course, the, the coldest invasion carrier that carries out at the behest of the credit government, whereby some of you craves most coma. i've read the most proficient gauge web, literally erase the cheering roof, exciting in the pool, this region,

which few great justified as a 2nd show for any piece due to the fugitive. this is a base that they'll have with the gotomeeting table. so more of how things are looking for k as a tends to be replenished, it's staggering losses of non power looking disastrous. i mean, that is essentially the explanation for, for the west of the united states for european nation pushing ukraine to start mobilizing 18 year olds, 19 year olds, given the losses that you can at it separately. so this would be a absolutely disastrous move. it would deprive you craig over the could, you could all but future, especially if these need goes on for another few years. if those 18 and 19 year olds, if they give through a grind it's, it's a, you know, an open question. how many will be left to rebuild? what is a good list of you crate?

but the united states is adamant that now anything that you know, potentially they may even cadell pull aid. if you claim does mobilize 1819 year olds, you have to recognize that demand power issue. and ukraine is an issue that has evolved over time. it has become more acute over the course of the past year, and the need for ukraine to be able to fully populate its brigades and battalions as we have floated in, a massive quantity of the munitions and military equipment they need. it has grown and we've made no bones about that, and we a brief the new team on that. so let's see what happens now on a going forward basis. that's ultimately a solving decision ukraine is going to have to make. but we have been crystal clear, including publicly and manpower is a, an acute concern, and then something that you crane will have to address, even as we do our part,

to get them to munitions that the great officials of the top was all resisting for that. they had to study uh, the mobilizing 1819 year olds moves up to $25.00. especially as i've mentioned if there's more drugs on, for a few more years, will be a death sentence for any ukrainian dreams of prosperity, of rebuilding in the future. so far as the landscape, you know, says look, you need to give us more weapons. it isn't clear where those weapons will come from deadlock, for example, just just several days ago said the jews, they have nothing you have to do with everything. to great many european countries, the say the united states officials have said repeatedly with defeated, emptying, stop balls. and zalinski had said the same thing. look, all problem isn't so much. lack of men as it ease. lot of

guns of new nations meets just somebody. we have more than $100.00 brigades on the battlefield. each one of those brigades needs manning and equipment on a daily basis. and all of them constantly have something out of service and some kind of understaffing. and so when we talk about increasing the number of our people to increase that number, we have to understand that 1st of all, there is no appropriate materials, staffing a brigades today. i think this is the most important issue with that of course, is that the uh, the choose the top truth zalinski understands. well, you know, his tub has expired. his approval ratings all way, way down trust in him by the credit people. he's also the levels i've seen since the bill began as low as they've been since the whole big gap g. the sounds good lou and the mobilization days would be

a huge the unpopular decision. but also he understands that ukrainian people, especially the copeland people, are disenfranchised. plus by those conflicts, we saw, for example, a brigade framed in from provided with the legs this weapons on the road from frogs to the front lines. most of the bouquets disaster possessions all way, way up, you crazy and zone rubbing from from the bases from places where the staying before being deployed to the front flood a bad building, the post running away the surrender. a did such a situation. imagine recruiting tens of thousands of people for the to the front bloods. and they will leave opening up

a huge space for russian troops who are on the offensive across the front blood to keeping up the pressure to break through that is a recipe for disaster or do stay with us here in our to international. i'll be back with much more news in about half an hour in the meantime, to visit our website or to com for the very latest breaking news and update the the
