the, the south korea's and page to president is detained than expected to stand trial over last month's declaration of martial law. use if you will, reject the charges of insurrection and abuse of power, but says he wants to avoid bloodshed. also, it has gone wrong and delivered on present the outgoing us secretary of state anthony blinking is repeatedly titled as the attempt to lay out a plan for a long promised yet still undelivered deal between israel and thomas and molly cracks down on for and mining seizing a stockpile of gold. after months of tense negotiations with a canadian firm,

the line from our headquarters in moscow, i'm rachel ruble. you're watching r t international. we start with the developing situation in south korea, where impeached, president, used to kill, has been detained for questioning by investigators. and so he's expected to stand trial on charges of insurrection and abuse of power over his brief declaration of martial law last month. and a video message released after he was taken into custody. mister unit strongly rejected the case against him on top of general. unfortunately, the law has completely collapsed in this country without 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 acts and forcibly proceeding with procedures based on invalid warrants. i cannot help but feel regretful. 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 it is merely a desire to prevent an unpleasant bloodshed closer than eunice. giving himself up here saying that he just wants to prevent bloodshed, but also saying that he completely disagrees with the decision of the corruption investigators to detain him, saying that he's completely innocent, but 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, pulse or to you and did not respond to the anti corruption agency summons and force the authorities to issue detainment warrants twice to you and has been displaying an extreme attitude of contempt, humiliation, and disregard toward the law. i ask the respected justices to 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 marshal law for the 1st time in 40 years, mind you, he said that it was to combat anti state and communist forces. and it seems like we're talking about the opposite as in 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 union. 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, causing chaos near the military di medication line. and in the end, closing an armed clash, the citizens, you have to find the by all side. the number of provocative actions have taken place under his administration. according to investigators, the supreme 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 pyongyang. the defense counter intelligence command appears to have planned a drone dispatch. interestingly enough, even young yang state run media has commented on humans in possession of marshal law saying that it was insane. and that it was reminiscent of the country's 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 could 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 the, even before the big scandal erupt in december, soft twins were quite happy with prizes at june. 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 regime. 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 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 within surrendering voluntarily. this time we're gonna have to see how this story ends up unraveling. there has been a remarkable lack of reaction to the events and so. busy from the south korea's main allied united states. we discussed this with archie contributor carl john, who's 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 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 or just speaking, arrested for char on charges of insurrection? this 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 kept full backing of the vitamin administration. this was a long sought out 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 then, and from what we have, i have observed to us. they have been very silent about president us cool. only see they say it was a we are firms are higher and clack, committed to south korea of the the malia and government has seized a canadian mining companies. gold stock pile. the move comes after months of back and forth between barracka gold and the bottom co which has been enforcing and professional order for changes to the countries mining laws. last week, eric gold corporation confirms that the company remains restricted from shipping

gold from the ludo co mining complex in molly. additionally, the interim attachment on the gold has now been executed by the medium government by moving the existing gold stock from the site to a custodial bank for the preventing the shipment and sale of the gold. as a result, barrick has regrettably initiated the temporary suspension of operations while it continues to work towards the resolution. right, let's cross live now to our to correspond to another who you can google with the molly and government and direct bullet had been in a stand off for months. now give us the latest developments. rachel, chances are running quite high. it is the money that is associated to the words you to be the students. it is mine will be with solid companies operating in the country at the same to off the stand off as be should with the government is of course in canadian mine not fabric. bold. the mon, the government introduced a new quote between 2 to 3. with some of these wisdom companies. we've seen those

agreements quite quickly, however, that the gold has been very slow to respond to those codes. and on the new codes, which comes as governments across the african continent. so you can move the news from the mines, the pictures to fold the model. in stage 5, it's kind of interest in politics should be seen. right? so to 35 percent for what it is now, which is 20 percent. the law also speaks to slash tax breaks and increase the number of ammonia is a management positions and work with fabric has been very slow to yeah. those was, you know, at this point is that the mine that has suspended mind incorporation who's in. * the off to the money government seized around $245.00. it says stocks from the move to come to come fix over the past week. and the government is considering exposed to 18. that's mine,

which is one of the world's largest gold features to science. and this also comes as talk people. this is switched by the modern government to try to escape. i'm sorry, it's aspects of the time sheets. actually the resources, the, the states a gave you domestic chain of the base, provided the gold and even most so with the mining industry. many say they did see this coming back. not so young folks advocate making the change and having to initiate the function of this nature. while it is the money to the situation, what happens is that it's if this issue is not resolved within the coming week, merrick will have no choice but to temporarily suspend operations at low low boom co toe. such an action would be deeply regretable, but necessary. the battery has been in the disputes with modest government so quite some time now over the new mine, it was the issue as

a escalated civil times which with monte detaining senior executives and issuing a response for the c o that result in december. and amadi has even gone as far as preventing fabric from h 4 to fold from the country. and despite being one of the leading voltage uses and ask you to, mommy is one of the poorest countries in the world. but in decent months, sorry, mine is have a ticket to come unofficial. as we see from the village of families, which is teaching kids, it's patrol officer, it's a member of the 606. and the case has the needs. is there any? see if you solve a major move supply the country and trying to ride for the states and solve your cables back model. oh, it's not due to back down really start off with the mining who's and the mom. he's not the only one who's speaking. if you can see all the readings from the race

was beautiful in neighboring bosses, it's not going to be, it's too long for me. please send me, see if you minutes, you got to give swan as also sometimes it's just a few months ago, montes, god bless you. please take back the line to see since between departments, new york is it's 56. it's and that is a cheap my new complex fabric, old, old, old bathroom. so things aren't looking for the full wasted mine is a that's the house each. all right? car to correspond that another way you can gave up with thank you. on axis been called a bloody blanket and secretary of genocide in a speech outlining a post war plan for gaza. the outgoing us secretary of state was repeatedly heckled and interrupted. we strengthen americans over the sanctions entourage and delivered on the present funds. the

thank you, i respect your views. please allow me to share a thank you. the sold will continue. these are the goals that i work to advance over a dozen trips for the reasons the all of this has been part of and all of the administration effort

piece in the region always has what year is it ard? yes. or is it impossible? no. well, the answer is real science amenities growing bigger ahead of the deal had. ironically, a lot of the anger is brewing in the u. s. where washington has positioned itself as a relentless mediator working to secure they still have been trying to out phase israel on its own issue, secretary of state blank,

and we're 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 guitar. we and the american mediator is even though prime minister and into the whose own office hasn't confirmed base yet. we also hearing from rone middle is sources. the israel is it will still need to ready 5808 . have mass accept says a step that hasn't happened yet. the outgoing us administration is racing against the clock with less than a week until trump takes office. but public frustration is also spilling over onto the incoming trump administration, expect it to be formal pro israel then by bins at a sentence. confirmation hearing for trump speak for defense secretary protest or is interrupted proceedings to voice their anger.

sorry in this war, fighting accountability the well, the nominee ultimately it's me to it's just supporting israel's war in guys on and stated that he wanted every have mass fight or killed. this is how he earned the label of christians, zionist. let's take a listen. 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 ex has central war and casa, i assume like me and present trump, the support that works. well, don't you, senator? i do, i support israel, destroying and killing every last number of home. us also earlier on monday pro palestinian protest or is gathered outside the state department during biden's final foreign policy speech slamming his support for israel. some banners at the bend read 5 means legacy is genocide. isn't if the hostage slash seized by a deal comes from 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, cuz hers foreign ministry spokesperson confirm that talks and go home in the final

stretch and happen, productive and positive. but he also warned not to get hopes up too high until there is an official announcement. it's very important not to over a raise the expectations to a level that the doesn't a link to what's happening on the ground right now. we are, we do believe that we all have to develop state. 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 over excited about this happening right now. but certainly we are hopeful that this would lead very soon to the 20 agreement. 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. 98, kept as the currency held in gaza. was 60 full 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. and they, while they is rarely, military has launched more strikes on gaza hitting a school turn shelter, as well as several homes across the enclave. at least 24 palestinians have reportedly been killed since dawn. this wednesday we spoke with one survivor of a previous idea of a tech that left his entire family that you had to put them a young man named mash mood. so carlos is 22 years old. he looks bitterly at the documents that have become his only treasure. yes, they are the death certificates of 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, a city huntington. on that day, i was away from home for a few hours, and suddenly i received the sad news that 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, cousins, elderly family members, my nephew and his mother. 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 suddenly came the terrible news that they were all dead. behold, mama has become a hostage to the tragedy of last 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 refugees and is that why day? 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 this black 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 pin, 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 missiles shifted those dreams 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 from my twins and younger siblings just after losing my relatives. life lost its meaning because my strong support was gone. this is just one of hundreds of human stories. hundreds of families in gaza had been completely removed from the states civilian population register as a result of the conflict in which the israeli army has targeted civilians in an attempt to home as many innocent people as possible. earlier we heard from the

united nations children's fund the spokesperson test. ingram explains why miners are most vulnerable in the guise of war. all the worrying guys are, has, has the biggest impact on children out of any groups in the gaza strip. and that's because children are uniquely vulnerable to conflicts, the uniquely valuable to the impact of explosive weapons. and we've seen so many children with terrible blast. injuries from the use of things, explosive boyfriends, who populated areas to draw said more valuable to mount nutrition and a hydration of hypothermia, which we have the same client lives including embracing wakes and more than age babies have died of hypothetically or does is wings a cold so children, us really vulnerable and i remain so every day that it stays 5 isn't announced. most of the children in the gaza, strippers been separated from their families or, or lost them juice of the war. they uh, they moved us to by extended networks of families, neighbors and the community. this is quite common culturally in gaza in palestine.

and so the use of all the new jersey is not as common, and this is good for the child. so we're encouraging these extended networks really to catch the children. but of course, with that kid doesn't exist unit as in other ages, do step in to make sure the children are protected in these really dangerous circumstances. the leader of burkina faso has come. busy for a united efforts among african nations, to the colonized, singling out france and it's presidents, neo colonial attitudes, is applicant opportunity. africans must wake up. we must work to be independent to ensure that our people's at least know happiness, corporate. and that's what the fight against imperialism is all about. we have to the colonize our mentality, because the world gives us so many examples to see them. there are no morals, they can call you a terrorist today, but tomorrow, your a hero. they decide what happens. they talk about democracy, you know,

but they carry out crews themselves, disability for as well. this comes after a manual, my chronic tooth, the african states for getting to sang to paris for the role it played in this the whole region. last year molly new share and regina fossil demanded french troops leave their territories. the withdrawal is currently underway as a number of other african states and their security agreements with paris. earlier we spoke to research assistant at the institute for social research and africa by all that emma to he says, africa views microns words as a confession. if we got the crohn's, rather arrogant and irresponsible behavior as shown, that he has no respect for africa. this will eventually knock the ground down from under the feet of those africans who still believe that france is a friend and ally all in all my crowd lets us see the disgusting face of france spinning its vial status. and especially, it's totally irresponsible and disrespectful behavior towards the people of africa

. as you may recall, the us put a bounty of several $1000000.00 on the head of the current leader of syria and put him on a wanted list. and then one day, this murder and terrorist turned from a terrorist to a level and became a liberator. obviously, based on this reality, in which western countries prefer to call terrorist heroes, we conclude that behind these actions to which we can no longer turn a blind eye are not only their most trusted allies, but above all themselves. russia's foreign minister has weighed in on the greenland . the controversy launched by donald trump. the president elect wants to make the danish autonomy his territory. part of the us circuit live. rob says america should try us, can greenland, or is what country they'd actually like to live in. it was easily the prime minister of greenland declared that they do not want to be either the danes or americans. they want to be greenland as a month and i think we need to listen to the greenland as fast. we listen to the

inhabitants of crimea, the inhabitants of don't bass and nowhere else the. to learn the stories that attitudes towards the regime that came to power through an illegal cou data, and which was not accepted by the residents of crimea, nova russia and don't bass. this is in full accordance with the rights of a nation to self determination. in cases where a nation being part of a law just state considers that it is uncomfortable in that state. and that it once self determination, in accordance with the un charter, a large state is obligated not to counteract based on not to hinder. it is easy to do models still one race and the survey claims that over half of brand lens population is in favor of joining the united states. however, it was carried out by an american paulding firm and only $416.00 people actually took part. a 37 percent of them oppose the potential us acquisition with around 5 percent on the side. we've got a reaction from greenland problem at number play broberg. the pulses get ahold of

people, they tend to get ahold of it more or less the same group of interest if you're doing call that there's no down there, there are some in green them that don't mind joining the us by the external majority. breelan has a strategic position here in the arctic. it's one of the areas of all countries that are in the arctic. and it actually is one of the places where they have many sort of equipment since 2nd world war to make sure that they get early warning systems for us on the political parties in green. and i agreed upon is the statement that we don't want to change. we don't want to be american citizens. we want to be 3 letters anyways, in greenland. and one of the things is it is that defines us is our r t good location of course. so we don't mind working with our neighbors, and that's one of the main messages we've given so far to stay with us here on our to international have next on cross top, peter lavelle and his guest discussed the moral disgrace that will be the legacy of

secretary of state entities, lincoln. bye for now. the hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . as he leaves office secretary state anthony blinking will not be remembered as a diplomat. he will be remembered as a moral disgrace when faced with a chance to stop for as in genocide, he refused. he talked about

a rules based order, but he acted as an international criminal, the pro starting blinking legacy. i'm joined by my guess. michael rossi in task and he is a lecture of political science at rutgers university. and here in moscow we have alexander 8 and he is a lecture at moscow institute of physics and technology. okay, let's start out with michael and test. scan them as anthony blinking in his exit interviews and they were softball ones at that with the new york times in the financial times. and he was singing his own praises saying america is stronger its enemies or a week or he didn't talk about security, which is something remarkable about this administrator. and never talked about anyone security. he thinks he did a bang up job and he's very, very pleased with himself passing the baton to.
