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

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

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,

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

president, he has not been removed from the presidency, and the country is waiting for the constitutional courtsident, so hejust not, he is suspended from duties, said a presidential security team are doing theirjob to protect the president —— so the presidential. it is not a matter of loyalty. in presidential. it is not a matter of loyalty. in terms of the practicalities, _ matter of loyalty. in terms of the practicalities, you - matter of loyalty. in terms of the practicalities, you are - the practicalities, you are various parts of the authorities in south korea effectively pitted against one another. what does this mean for south korea both internally and how countries elsewhere in the world see south korea? i mean, internally we are in a very uncharted territory, as your correspondent said. as we saw yesterday, the two government agencies were almost coming closer to a physical clash over the arrest. that's never happened before in modern history. there is a lot of legal issues involving south korea, this arrest warrant as well, president yoon's has called it illegal and invalid because th

know, president yoon has been impeached and that impeachment is waiting to be upheld by the constitutional courtthey uphold the conviction, or the impeachment, then he will be removed from office. i think the move by the police to stand down 1527 00:17:25,40

but think about the constitution, he is facing a constitutional court decision.f action is a disadvantage to him. but he is still in his own world, i think. going forward, he can be held for 48 hours, but unless the investigators get this fresh detention warrant, he could in theory be released. realistically, what do you see the situation going forward for south korea at this precarious time? let me explain our legal system. as you said, there are two warrants. the arrest warrant is 48 hours, if they get the detention warrant in that 48 hours, they can get 20 days. at the moment there are two agencies taking care of this, one is the prosecution and one is the anti—corruption investigator. so they have ten days for investigators by cio but they cannot deal with the insurrection, that will be the prosecutors. so we have 20 days. these are live images just outside the corruption investigation office where the president is being questioned. the latest update is that he is refusing to speak. we will keep an eye on that. british inflation unexpectedly slowed in decembe

or was is in the is in the process of being impeached by the constitutional courts. during the process, his acting replacement, the prime minister, was, um, not appointing the three constitutional judges that were absent. the opposition then impeached him, and now we have the deputy prime minister as the acting president. the corruption agency, for its formal designation is the senior civil servant. corruption investigation unit. that's a big mouthful. but they were put in charge of executing a legal accusation of treason against president yoon. president yoon and his lawyers are saying this is illegal. and the jurisdiction is, uh, absurd. according to yoon and his lawyers, they are only required under the impeachment process through the constitutional courts to be, uh, to be responsible for. so they do not accept the jurisdiction of the prosecutor's office. the police, nor especially the senior civil servant. uh, corruption, uh, investigation unit. so that's where they're not, uh, they're not accepting the arrest warrant. and, oh, by the way, the police have just sai

apart from the constitutional court hearings that started yesterday, this is a different case.ow being investigated by corruption investigators and police alleged insurrection and abuse of power, both related to the martial law declaration on december 3. what they are trying to do now is a second attempt to try and arrest the president. ideally for the police and investigators, what they will try to do is try to get as close as possible to the entrance behind me, get into the residence compound, get to the president, and attempt to arrest him. the last time they tried that, they were blocked by a wall of people, the president's security team. so far we have not heard that the president's security staff will operate, so they are expecting a standoff. we don't know how long it will last. we understand about 1000 police officers have been deployed. that is more than eight times the number that was there last time. they say they want to avoid contra -- confrontation, bloodshed. they want this operation to go smoothly, but we do not know whether the police security staff will make i
