there are two checks one is the constitutional courts judging whether courtsjudging whether impeachmentng whether impeachment is correct courtsjudging whether impeachment is correct or courts judging whether impeachment is correct or not. the other one is he was prosecuted, he was summoned and he ignored three summons for him to appearfor he ignored three summons for him to appear for questioning. that is why this arrest warrant was given. has president yoon�*s determination not to surrender come as a surprise to you? no, not at all. he was like that. he knows the law was a top prosecutor in the country. and he continued to express himself, that he is going to fight until the end, and he knows that he was supported by this very conservative, —— supporters. he tried to in a instigate maybe he thinks it is the only way get out of this. get out of the crisis for him. what does this impasse or stalemate mean for south korea's democracy? this is a problem. our economy is in trouble, our diplomacy in trouble. this is not good. we proved the resilience of democracy but this process as you said

so the final decision of the constitutional court seems quite solid at this point.hink would be the tipping point, what will it take for mr yoon to come in for questioning and acquiesce to this arrest warrant? it would be hoped he will respond to the new attempt by the police presumably now they have the arresting authority. but both the president's protection service and the military that they have used some of to shield themselves, from the cio, those are all state agencies. those agencies answer to the law and this was a legal warrant, they have zero basis to resist, they don't work for the president personally that is not a thing, south korea is not a dictatorship at this point. they have all exposed themselves to prosecution by their actions in the last couple of days. it's difficult to say what will happen now of course. it is monday there, either the police will go in and try to finally affect the arrest, i expect something like that will happen because it's hard to see the stand—off going on for the next couple of weeks as the court in parallel deliberates a

all the roads around the constitutional court were completely blocked off to the public.olice officers formed these human walls to cut off the access. this was to stop mr yoon�*s supporters from being able to get close to the court, because hundreds of them had gathered nearby. this was quite a moment here today, because not only is it mr yoon�*s first appearance in this impeachment trial, but it is the first time we've really seen him in public since he made that martial law declaration back in early december. and it's the first time that a president here has chosen to turn up to their own impeachment trial and defend themselves. so what did he say? mr yoon argued that he hadn't broken the constitution, that he was within his right to declare martial law that night. he and his lawyers claim that he hadn't ever intended to fully disband the parliament, and that he had dispatched the troops to the parliament that night, in fact, to protect the public. prosecutors responded, though, saying that his arguments were unclear, they were incoherent and that he was trying to evade

constitutional court impeach. pass the impeachment then, but the problem is until then. and then president yoon can try to buy time, delay. you know, they are using delaying tactics. but i don't think they will reverse the trend. in the us, millions of people are under weather alerts as a major winter storm sweeps the country. some communities could experience the heaviest snowfall and coldest temperatures in more than a decade. a state of emergency has been declared in six states — west virginia, kentucky, virginia, kansas, arkansas and missouri. in kansas, the usual average low temperature at this time of year is minus six degrees celsius. now, it's expected to fall to minus 29 degrees. in kentucky, the average low is minus three degrees but it's expected to be as low as minus 16. these are pictures from missouri, one of those states under an emergency. snow, ice and plunging temperatures have affected the roads while air travel has also been hit. more than 5,000 flights across the us have so far been cancelled,

forthat the country's constitutional court.significant police presence with barricades and high visibilityjackets. buses also lining the streets to limit the number of supporters being able to make their way to the residence. we will follow the story throughout the day on bbc news. see you again soon. hello there. as the wet and windy weather cleared south on new year's day, it opened the door for cold arctic air to spill right across the country and it's going to stay bitterly cold as we head into the weekend. overnight frost and ice could be a risk for some, and there's a potential for some disruptive snow. so we're under this, clearer skies at the moment, showers feeding in across the far north and west, that cold air descending right across the country. so ice could be an issue first thing, particularly along those exposed coasts where we've seen a rash of showers falling. elsewhere, a frosty start, a cold start, but lots of sunshine to look out for — just like we had this thursday. there will continue to be a feed of showe

actually, - president yoon has arrived to the constitutional court about 50 minutes ago and the trialby thejudges on the motives of his declaration of martial law. and it seems he has said his belief in the democratic system made him declare martial law. 50 in the democratic system made him declare martial law.- him declare martial law. so the heafina him declare martial law. so the hearing is _ him declare martial law. so the hearing is now _ him declare martial law. so the hearing is now under _ him declare martial law. so the hearing is now under way - him declare martial law. so the hearing is now under way as - him declare martial law. so the hearing is now under way as we are showing viewers now there is the pro president yoon supporters outside the constitutional court but yet there is an equal number if not more of those who are against. how do you see this playing out? so it is unfortunate that last week we saw some violence. i think the police took measures today to make sure that there was no such incident again and mryoon that there was no such incident again and mr yoon is

things of time to see and now the constitutional court. busy and trial, remember that there is a distinction between you and peace. resolve is going on against him to send for criminal investigation over his martial declaration. just over a month ago, yesterday, there were thousands of his supporters camps outside his residence, trying to prevent the execution to the 12, the arrest one, some of them signed up here today. but as you know from june is not going to appear full of the proceedings. the constitutional court did say the job isn't that they wouldn't be moving on and hearing arguments on whether or not to uphold his engagement. meanwhile, for instance, your face 10 hours of questioning and the corruption investigation office and mr. j . overnight. susan used to take any further questions, but today this process is not going to be a quick one. there are a total of 5 charles taking place up until february full of the constitutional court as a $180.00 days to decide in the face of the president. not your fault, aus is 0. so for mania

the constitutional court did say the job isn't that they wouldn't be moving on and hearing arguments on whether or not threw up hold is in page. meanwhile, for instance, your face 10 hours of questioning and the corruption investigation office and was detained overnight. susan used to take any further questions, but today this process is not going to be a quick one. there are a total of 5 charles taking place up until february 4th. and the constitutional court has a $180.00 days to decide in the face of the president, not your fault houses 0. so imagine see close in the us city of los angeles are still trying to contain several live fires. the largess has been burning for nearly 10 days as resources for and from out of space and on trees convicted criminals. i've also been recruited to join the front line in the vows spoke to one side and turned firefighter in the outer dina fi. so to visualize it, no, i got you. i got some stuff for sure. with boiled writing these at quite the journey from behind. balls in prison, to out front in the fight against california as wild fires. it really

all the roads around the constitutional court were completely blocked off to the public. to stop mr yoon's supporters from being able to get close to the court, because hundreds of them had gathered nearby. this was quite a moment here today because not only is it mr yoon's first appearance in this impeachment trial, but it is the first time we've really seen him in public since he made that martial law declaration back in early december. and it's the first time that a president here has chosen to turn up to their own impeachment trial and defend themselves. so what did he say? mr yoon argued that he hadn't broken the constitution, that he was within his right to declare martial law. that night, he and his lawyers claimed that he hadn't ever intended to fully disband the parliament, and that he had dispatched the troops to the parliament that night, in fact, to protect the public. prosecutors responded, though, saying that his arguments were unclear, they were incoherent and that he was trying to evade responsibility. if the constitutional court decides to impeach him, th

also a separate case under the constitutional court to see whether yoon�*s martial law last month wase processes going on at the same time. one is the joint investigation about the crimes of insurrection, and whether yoon�*s act was abuse of power. and secondly there's a separate case on the constitutional court that is to judge the impeachment motion passed by the national assembly. but yoon�*s team's strategy is to deny and refuse anything on the investigation by the corruption investigation office, police and the defence, but to reply and delay the process by the constitutional court. so we don't know. it seems to be a very long and worse december the south korean population has seen. it's less than a month, martial law was on three december, within a month, these things are happening really, really fast. so, we have to see. the important thing is the opposition sees this move by yoon�*s legal team as a self—denier, he know that yoon seok—youl himself, he impeached the last president eight years ago. now he's the subject of the investigation and subject for the impeachment. we have

so whether the constitutional court was finalized impeachment on this, we don't know. but if it show to finalize that impeachment of the presence of your, then he would lose political power and he would also lose access to his presidential security service, namely the same unit that right now shields him from a prosecution. so i would say that the use of your future is still very uncertain bobby. and before the deadline passed, investigators had asked the police to execute the warrants, but it didn't happen. can you explain why? yeah, that's really a very controversial method. he in south korea. so the investigator is that they have not been able to arrest june. so if you old by themselves, they were clearly out number the name of the out number by the presidential security service. and let me also edit the president jude. so if y'all is a shield, if behind high boards in his residence, he has an angry um, a protesters also who act as a human shield in front of his residence. and this severely concerns that any arrest attempt might escalate into violence. so when the i

the constitutional court will hear arguments on whether to uphold parliament's decision to impeach mr so far, there hasn't been any major effects on markets — as the benchmark kospi index is trading around 0.2% higher. we will leave you with these images outside the constitutional court, where those in support and against president yoon have gathered ahead of the proceedings today. hey, i'mjulia with the catch—up. tonight — the truth behind shein bargains — the mother of all festivals — and britain's most remote populated island. we will start in los angeles, where three wildfires are still burning. thousands of people have lost their homes, and displaced victims are paying massive fees to landlords in hotels. jason 0ppenheimer is an la property mogul, who stars in selling sunset on netflix, and says there are landlords using the disaster to make a profit. we are having landlords taking advantage of the situation. i had a client, we sent him to a house asking for $13,000 a month. he offered $20,000 a month, and offered to pay six months up front, and the landlord said, "no, i want $23

and now the constitutional court is reviewing that decision. and so having basically the final say in this matter, and we don't know when this will happen, but next week they will be the next a hearing. and when the constitutional court makes the decision, then we know where the you and so if you all the permanently lose his political power, all might even get back into office to the general assembly and catch with us in the soul. thank you very much. and all 3 of the far rides, freedom party has been off to the form of government. this follows the collapse of coalition towards between centrist policies, the countries president, and extend the fund that belin has tossed the leader of the freedom party. you have a kick off with forming a new government if he's successful in australia, would have its 1st government led by a far right policy since world war 2. this predicted that and we were the believe would change the course of the country's future. soon the far right feet the body would lead the government. its leader heard particularly now has

and now the constitutional court is reviewing that decision. and so having basically the final say in this matter, and we don't know when this will happen, but next week that will be the next hearing. and when the constitutional court makes the decision, then we know whether you and so if you all the permanently loose his political power, all might even get back into office to the general assembly and catch with it's in . so thank you very much. and for the united states now um at least 5 people have been killed after a pa, for windows stall, and broad freezing conditions and heavy snowfall to the midwest and the east coast . some areas of seeing the heaviest, snow full in decades the united states as being pummeled by a mass of winter storm system, ice and snow, but a deep freeze on this highway in ohio as traffic ground to a standstill for 7 hours in kansas city. elbow grease was the only way be stranded motorists could get back on the road. as the snow continued to pile up, forcing the governor to send out the national guard in some regions.

when at the goal of calling georgia school over 20000 people assembled in front of the constitutional court. they requested the issuance of when you're at to, to correct the, the 2nd decision and allow the elections to proceed. that's respecting the wheels of the citizens. ok. during this period, the governing cooperation continues to ignore the voice of the, the books and this proceeding with the efforts to organize new presidential elections from scratch. it appears that their plans include invalidating coffee dates for the dean on suite the boat and among them will most likely to be getting just full in the front place. yeah, in the fall it was a mrs. 0 by the end of the and i so soccer and father to be and mega. uh, we were the 1st denied. all 3 of us has clearly expressed our desire to keep romania out of the war in ukraine. and to stop funding this, where it is expected that all those who openly criticize romanians membership in nature and your being and union would it be excluded from the electoral race there by consolidating the control political climate. this approach raises questi

and i'll tell you, but we'll legitimate to know what it is, despite the fact that the top constitutional court in georgia said that they would legitimate no. we've now heard from a former minister in georgia who's going even further than the georgian prime minister, saying essentially there was a direct link between the money that comes from us age. and what is happening in countries like georgia. whether it's the, again, these simple to attempt to choose to take place. we have repeatedly said that organizations such as us a id and any d with the former being a state agency and the latter supposedly a non governmental organization. but our both finance from the us budget play a very bad role in our country. they issue grants used to teach georgian youth how to carry out a to teach them how to use weapons and teach them how to deal legitimize law enforcement agencies and the government. what something looks like. this is just the type of the iceberg. great show lab usa, what's a look they say soft power, this is if i was promoting democracy in other countries, others would putting doesn't say n

that's a popular house in south korea's constitutional court as a judge in the impeachment, trying to present use a ppo just minutes off of the hearing because you didn't attend that hearing with his lawyer. so i think security can says the president was impeached and suspended . last month thought that he declared marshall the quotes expected to be due on thursday, patrick fault castle himself. it was today was meant to be an important day and bring about some sort of progression and the political crisis in south korea. but it's all turned out to be somewhat nc capacity because there's no court deciding to suspend the opening for all and impeachment of presidency and so kill it, decided that he needed to be here. he needed to be present in order for them to proceed. he did say a few days ago that he wouldn't be appearing before the constitutional court today on the safety ground. so there was also a dance about whether anything would take place of tools today of present june's legal team submitted various objections, including a request to exclude one of the constitutional court judg

he did say a few days ago that he wouldn't be appearing before the constitutional court today on the safety ground. so there was also a dance about whether anything would take place of tools today, off the present, june's legal team submitted various objections, including a request to exclude one of the constitutional court judges. based on the hub progressive political leanings that was thrown out by the court and that all now moves on to the 1st day. that's when the 2nd trial takes place. and the court has said that it will proceed regardless of whether or not present union makes an appearance. separately, there was 9 things. speculation that the 2nd attempt to arrest president june could be evidence. patrick fault was, is 0. so for his car, as current presidents has appeared before, prosecutes is to explain to 2 week long absence for plastic surgery. see not below, i'd say says the surgery on her nose was medical notes, cosmetic. and she's accused of abandoning. how about yourself to failing to appoint a cat's? how you can present that same, so she carried out to jude st. jude see

in the trial, the constitutional court will focus on whether to uphold the impeachment voted on by theoffice. fore more, i'mjoined now by stephen costello, fellow at quincy institute and scholar at the institute for korean studies, george washington university. tell us what we can expect when the impeachment trial begins today. the impeachment trial begins toda. ., ~ the impeachment trial begins toda . ., ~ the impeachment trial begins toda. ., ., ., today. thank you for having me. i think that _ today. thank you for having me. i think that president _ today. thank you for having me. i think that president yoon's - i think that president yoon's attempt at self group provoked two major pushbikes. number one is the impeachment which was voted by the national assembly, and that process goes now to the constitutional court, as you said, they began their deliberations today in about an hour. they are the final determinant, whether president yoon is finally impeached or whether he will be reinstated to office. so that could take i suppose a couple of weeks, most likely. if he is impeached at

south korea is constitutional court is holding a 2nd hearing on whether to uphold the impeachment of president eunice, oak hill. he was arrested at his residence in so on wednesday, you and supporters have been camped outside. the detention center way has been held is accused of insurrection after the king martial law. last month. lawyers say he's refusing further questioning authorities after we have to release you and after 48 hours or get a warrant to keep them in detention. patrick fox is in south korea as capital sol with more. the following wednesdays, high drama with drugs in general is fine. the rest of those things are fun to see. and now the come see snow quotes for his control. remember, there's a distinction between you and peace. resolve is going on against him. of the sun for criminal investigation over his martial mold expiration. just over a month ago, yesterday, there were thousands of his supporters camps outside his residence, trying to prevent the execution to the 12, the arrest one, some of them signed up here today. but as you know, present unit is not going to

on friday, the constitutional court held its 2nd preparatory hearing in 2 units, impeachment, which will likely be decided in the coming weeks. i have no doubt that you will be removed from office, the constitutional court, but i think decided create a critical need to confirm impeachment because this case is very clear case. and he but violated the constitution entitled all side exactly one month since the marshal load declaration to political crisis, it created shows no sign of easy, especially with a stand off at the official residence of the man who declared that remaining inside, i'm refusing to on. so prosecute has questions about the pride. i'll just era. so you crane says one person has been killed off to multiple russian drain strikes on the capitol keys and surrounding areas. this comes as the clear up continues from you is the a when crane said russia 5 more than 100000 drugs keep says it's a defensive down to 60 out of 93 drains launched on thursday night. yes, president joe biden has awarded the presidential citizens metal to the leaders of the congressional investigation an

so they've also off for the constitutional court proceedings to be a delays on the ground. so that he is currently under detention separately. they have submitted a request to the soul central district court questioning the legality of the detention. and you were to go have to wonder what exactly the overall strategy is with this. because, you know, the impeachment trial does have to take place now that, that of votes has, has taken place previously. and you know, people who wants to move along with things and find some sort of resolution to this and positive seems as though the legal team is trying to pursue every avenue possible to prevent things from moving forward. and it appears to be and that sort of exhausting the system if you like. all right, patrick, many thanks for the update. patrick felt that and so us present, joe biden made his final address to the nation from the oval office on wednesday night few days. he'll be succeeded by president elect donald trump. a white house correspondent, kimberly how couldn't afford spite and use his good by speech to issue a seri

the decision of the constitutional court represents more than just a legal controversy. justice, it is in fact and officially sanctioned to 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, we are no longer talking about justice, but rather about simulate chrome that betrays the principles of democracy. the official reason is, what is reg and it's abstracted. perhaps it's even theoretical, but it's far and interfere. it's that 5th, nothing called gravel will just that someone apparently nettled in allegedly something. according to security services, you could always trust the nameless, faceless security services. every rumania, news of this power and reason of causes is that the guy that the establishment doesn't want one. he wants to stand up to the west to take care of. we're mainly of 1st would you believe, which is why romanians voted for him. we'll negotiate that. we will negotiate solely on behalf of remaining his interest. what does that mean? it

we must subject is powerful right wing extremist party, to review by the federal constitutional court. this is about nothing less than our free democracy in the name of freed up. he says, in your opinion, democracy once when something when we were young and stupid, it was an ideal to a spot once there's nothing to respond to. now the rule of the people has been replaced with persecutions and manipulation by the seats and propaganda. well, that brings you up to date with all of what's happening around the world. what we've got was more around 13 minutes next stuff, another chunks to what's going on the the sooner time. so you're welcome back to going, undergoing low cost to go around the world from the u. a. in the heart of the middle east. on the day 38 years ago, the welded confirmation of these rails may be 200 nuclear weapons. good to see the usa of outside of africa. and one of the hollywood store film produces israel has to this day no, come clean. the new k, a whistle blower motor car avenue new would be honey draft and kid that from london by room for his revelations before dec

the constitutional court is going to hear arguments on both sides and also hear them presenting their what it is going to do. this is very consequential what happens in this building, because if the constitutional courts decide to uphold the impeachment, that triggers a snap election. if it doesn't and reinstate him, he is backin doesn't and reinstate him, he is back in power. that is going to trigger a huge reaction from the opposition and opponents and members of the public. separately we understand that the impeached president has spent the night in a solitary cell in a detention centre in seoul, close to the building of the corruption investigation office. officials from the corruption investigation officers said they had prepared a 200 page questionnaire and that the president refused to answer even one question. so so far, he is refusing to cooperate with questioning. today he was supposed to show up for another day of questioning and he refused to do so. as it stands this is a president whose leadership, whose future is being decided in two different ways, in a criminal investi

we must subject is powerful right wing extremist party to review by the federal constitutional court. this is about nothing less than our free democracy. in the name of freed up. he says, european democracy once when something when we were young and stupid.

and now the constitutional court is reviewing that decision. and having basically the final say in this matter, and we don't know when this will happen, but next week they will be the next a hearing. and when the constitutional court makes the decision, then we know where the you and so if you all the permanently lose his political power or might even get back into office of the tennis sabi and catch with this in the soul. thank you very much. and all 3 of the far right freedom policy has been off to form the government. but as follows, the collapse of coalition talks between central's parties, the countries president that like some of the fund that ben has tossed the leader of the freedom policy, have it kick off with forming a new government if he's successful or still would have its 1st government that is led by a fall ride party since we'll go to these predictors. and we would, the believe would change the course of the country's future. soon the far right feet the body would lead the government its lead to her. but because now has the job

the medium and capital, demanding the resumption of a presidential election and notified the constitutional court. after an empty brussel, candidate tops of polls, the from must go to the world. welcome to the news, rough of the week. that was right up to the moment developments as well. the us is preparing for a meeting between donald trump. vladimir puts an, that's according to trump national security advisor, designate mike walls, who also stated that a telephone call between the leaders may help and as soon as this week, well, we have a set the exact framework for it yet. we're working on that, but i do, you know, expect a call for at least in the coming days and weeks so that, that would be a step. uh, we and, and we'll take it from there. everybody knows that this has to, in somehow diplomatically, i just don't think it's realistic to say we're going to expel every russian from every entry of ukrainian soil even cried me a president, trump has a knowledge that reality. and i think it's been a huge step forward that the entire world is acknowledging that reality. the question of talks betwee

the, the, the constitutional court said that regardless of whether or not he would appear, they would proceed with a hearing arguments on whether or not to uphold the impeachment against him. but this is not going to be a false process by any means. so a total of 5 trials that taken place up until february 4th, and the court has a $180.00 days to decide on the fate to present to him. serious foreign minister has been visiting turkey as part of a push by the new administration to strengthen ties with its neighbors. and allies to key says it's ready to support the new government of damascus, sent in for sale, very force to mind, correct. a turkey and syria are opening a new chapter in relations as they are top diplomats mats and on car up both sides highlighted the cooperation on security, monetary and, and paul, optical issues visiting syrian foreign minister, also math turkish present threads are 5 add on turkish for administer how come sit down, reaffirm to kids readiness to help syria lift sanctions called vice terrorism and rebuild its institutions. i wish we could do it our semest
