so this current configuration, the georgia dream with the nominated president, are not going to put georgia back on the track with your, again, it's gratian. so the cross has actually have been largely triggered by this announcement on 28th of november that were purchased. as i said after the elections, but the scale and the d printing of the crisis, really for those, these kind of official, the rejection of european accession by the georgia dream. you've criticized the use response to recent events. not only the crack down, for example, but the electron as well. does it really come down to the use of lack of consensus, or why do you think they were so unprepared as well? there are some objects to reason. simon consensus is one, but the new does find itself in a very unusual situation is this is a candidate concrete. and for the 1st time problem isn't the candidate country decides to withdraw the from the process to the, the there's of the country. a basically equate to conditionality, which is the tried and tested process for the you enlargement with the black menu and said that they basic

- support are we seeing for the georgia dream party? so, 's we could argue _ georgia dream party?ould argue based _ georgia dream party? so, 's we could argue based on _ georgia dream party? so, 's we could argue based on the - georgia dream party? so, 's we could argue based on the polls| could argue based on the polls in the october 26 election that georgia dream probably have something like... much of that support was in their regions. but the situation has changed dramatically since elections. originally, much, now the protesters all around the country. it's in the major cities, even smaller cities than the major ones. it looks like the mood has become much more than it was before. before as i say, largely urban based on the capital city. now it is beginning to be much more challenging to the government. the , ., challenging to the government. the ., ~' ., challenging to the government. the you talk about the response we've seen _ the you talk about the response we've seen from _ the you talk about the response we've seen from authorities, . we've seen from authorities, toward

and well, brussels is considering sanctions against some members of the georgia dream of policies. other european countries already taking massive into that the 3 bolduc stays jointly agreed to impose national sanctions against those to suppress legitimate protests and georgia opponents of democracy in violators of human rights and not welcoming all countries. the e u has also suggested it may punish old george in spite removing the visa free visiting lights, the car, or the holes. meanwhile, its top diploma has added her voice to the criticism of what she describes as heavy handed tactics by the forces of old a. so it is clear that using violence against a peaceful protesters is not acceptable. and the georgian government should respect the will of the georgian people when it comes to the european union. the and this clearly has consequences on our relationship with georgia. we only did that it's the police perpetrating violence against the contract. this is also another narratives. it's being done by the western media demonstrate has responded to police will to cannons and t a gas

and what's really interesting is that georgia dream has spoken out again and again saying that what's happening in georgia now is reminiscent of what happens in crane was it might include back in 2014 because if you remember back then the e was also supporting those protest movements you members were also going to add to ukraine to support those protest movement. and it's interesting to see the fact that the routing policies suggesting that there is a link to between these 2 attempted crews. they saying that that starts essentially what they trying to do in this country. and of course, the might include in 2014 a, pulling down the democratically elected leader of ukraine at the time of georgia. dream is that it is determined, absolutely determined that the same fate won't happen to its country. so let's discuss these developments with george samuel, a senior research fellow with a global policy institute thing time when he, thanks for joining us on the program to just get to see. so what do you make of all the west and support for the incumbent georgian president who is refusing to st

so the moscow friendly georgia dream party claimed the vote was on saturday, the georgia dream control problem and elected this man. miss you have a, she'd be a former football player turned right wing politicians. the opposition fears will steer georgia away from joining the european union outside the parliament building . protesters cast out on have a sri, these qualifications our, our garden, uh great uh to our election. and our president can do that. you said rather, and they've got to hold us for drugs here in pub, josie, i'll be able to present the camera. he doesn't have an invitation to the president, so we're progressing this way. we are showing our diploma. we are more capable of being present and he is no to legitimate told them they cannot say look to president, this is not because they are breaking the law despite how they see these election today, outgoing president. so let me sort of it see the said she won't recognize the vote and called for fresh elections in order to have peace and justice in the country. the new elections and need to do is go down. so that is why we

appointed as george's new president election was blanketed by the opposition. asked the route in georgia, dream potty tights, and said spend on pop the hello i i'm at the michael junior and you are welcome to the program. political controversy continues in georgia where the care of the coverage, as billy has been named as the country's new president, i made a constitutional crisis. the football out turned fire rights politician is seen as pro russian. that is the hotline critic of the west. his election was blanketed by the opposition who have described the process of illegitimate. this is george's new president mchale covey unless you really a form of football player to and right wing politician elected by a problem and largely controlled by the pro russian georgian dream potty. the authorization boy cost with the process describing it as quote it legitimate meaning georgians protested outside the countries parliament. they believe the ruling policy wants to consolidate power and damage the countries aspirations of joining the european union. oh, the 2nd they were elected. so they, they attach

his election was blanketed by the position as the ruling georgia dream party tysons its grip on pos. also coming up. south korea as presidents is suspended after a vote to impeach him. eunice of jo says, who step aside, but one's give up as the courts now consider as his future impeachment decision to celebrate that in so less than 2 weeks after the use of food attends to impose marshall the i am eddie micah genia and you are welcome to the program, political controversy continues in georgia, where mikhail calculus really has been named as the countries knew, precedents made a constitutional crisis. the football attend file, right? but in addition to seeing as the pro ration and as a hotline critical of the west election was white and said by the position who have described the process as elected to meet this is george's new president. mckayla covet, i should be li, a form of football player attend right wing politician. elected by a parliament largely controlled by the pro russian georgian dream patchy in the off position boy cost with the process describing it as quote, a legitimat

the georgia dream will never be the force in the country because they're not in the middle government to provide me with upsets. that's one of the outgoing president salo, me. so levies really has cold on her supporters together in front of the presidential palace on sunday to continue to protest against the government. but not everybody agrees with the protesters to our new tyler and god knows doing a very good job. oh, and besides the marriage of the government and no one else look at the situation around. there are wars everywhere. yeah, that's not the cold. so now protestors have announced they will continue until the the months i'm met israel's military size. it's raid on they come out of had one hospital in northern guys is now over the operation, allegedly targeted a how must command center hidden in the compound, israel's as detained, the hospital director and 214 others as suspected. how much militants the world health organization says the rate has shut down northern guys as last major medical facility that come out odd one hospital earlier this month, receiving supplies fro

and due to the submit your who is from the routing, georgia dream party has a claim to pro you pro this, there's forced pointing this event that i was there, and i was able to see a few dozen of government supporters. however, the square was clearly dominated by the onto government and pro you process there there's, you can actually just see now behind my back the rest of the avenue. some people are coming back from the protests. some people are still going to the parliament building at dar. definitely thousands of people there tonight or very it's a cold and i think the police in my minus 2 minus degrees celsius. so the crowd this visit, the smaller than that say a week ago. right, right. so do you position calls to days, vote illegitimate. but on what grounds as well, basically the opposition has been boy accounting department ever since the general election. back in october officially, the selection was won by the ruling georgia dream party to have the parliament majority now. but the opposition, as well as the incumbent president, tell them is that obviously they claim that the sele

the officially the selection was won by the ruling georgia dream party. they have the parliament majority now, but the opposition as well as the incumbent president, tell them is that obviously they claim that the selection was stolen or written. and due to the alleged irregularities like voters intimidation or cases of double voltage. so they are calling for new general election, and this is also why the opposition didn't show up to the parliament today for the election of the new president. because cover law should be the was chosen by the running majority about the opposition just calling him legitimate. right, you mentioned a new president. let's talk a bit about him. tell us about details kind of calculus. ve. why is he so controversial? he's a former football player. he's 53 years old and he, he joins politics just a few years ago with the georgia dream really party. and he's considered as a hard liner, a famous for his log onto western rhetoric. and as, as m p, he was the one who was often proposing to more radical ideas. she was one of the initiat

now since the georgia dream said that it would be halting, those essential tools would be you. and while it does feel coma, we're cleaning notes at the end of this situation. so there's many things for the updates as soon as you correspond to show the deepen sky reporting or from to please see. thank you. a to ok, straight to the oldest a was to go on. that's the determination of remain. is presidential front runner following a ruling by the nathan members. constitutional quote, to cancel his 1st round, the election victory and order a full re run. i just want to be clear, you're saying that some european leaders, a nature of officials, came together to put pressure on the remaining establishment to stop. you'll come pain because they don't want to pay this exact. they need war never can only for the constitutional court or romania. i want to be very clear from now you some of the courts or for me, do you have any links to russia? doesn't exist any, any relationship with any 40 parked for particular. it was an extra on this. it doesn't exist in life of the old a, to reboot the

the routing pro russian georgia dream party time victory in a disputed election in october georgia's current president selma director. she has refused right, well, let's go to, to the leasing that we're, i'm joined by our correspondence ag to shy gosh at she now ski and great to see on the show. so we can cover liability has been elected george's new president by the countries electoral college. but sal amazing were a basically who's been president since 2018 and said she's not stepping down. so what happens now of the well, probably the short term tonight we are expecting the troll you protesters to gather again to sort of $735.00 the parliament building. and this time around, the government has also called on it's supporters to show up in front of the parliament for the unveiling of the christmas tree there. so we are possibly going to have some trolls and governors across the safe spot that's for now the situation is called in the city. as you can see, the name of the street is still not is to open to traffic, but in the longer term, the next 2 weeks you observe this. well, let's

it comes out to an election that sold the governing georgia dream party, keep it's majority in parliament as me true. maybe the ankle reports from the leasing. the country's population is divided on what should happen next. every night in georgia is capital thousands gather in front of parliament, demanding change johnson songs. while i work at tax water cannon, n t, a guess the protest to say that calls for an election rerun and e, you integration of being ignored. the crisis has divided the nation and split families. the georgia dream for media propaganda is like so bad. even my, for example, my family, some of my family believes in, and they think that georgian dreams wants to protect us from war. but they don't realize that we are in the war now, and this is our we're now october's election showed a risk in georgia and society official results. so the governing georgia dream policy going 54 percent of the vote keeping its majority. but exit polls show of boss sleep different picture that scene points us for georgia, dream and strong gains for opposition parties, one now demanding new

the rolling georgia dream policy has condensed the attacks and denied any links to the assailants. an official investigation is ongoing. let's get more details. not from our correspondence show, the ben sky joining goes from the georgian top or to sort of get to see you take us through the latest on the street violence. the yeah, as you saw that street violence towards one of the members of the price, but that is not unload example. we've been hearing reports of, of the people also being in to does the st. gainesville, or roaming the area and looking for people to attack them. as you saw enough footage, they're all mosques, and it's hard to know who the perpetrators are georgia dream, the really because you said it is not in both the link to these policies and investigations have begun, but it is clear from the last a. so 10 noise tentatively see that there are many and say we elements within the crowds including just last night we were in the clouds. and so one individual wearing the insignia opened a taurus as of fatality, from ukraine and georgia. dream. the usually really call,

he'll never be and presidents with georgia, the georgia dream will never be the force in the country because they're not in the middle government to provide me with that 20 outgoing president, solomon's to abuse really has cold on her supporters together in front of the presidential palace on sunday to continue to protest against the government. but not everybody agrees with the protesters as it to our new tyler and god knows doing the very good job and the side then there's no more in our country is the marriage of the government. and no one else look at the situation around. there are wars everywhere. yeah, that's not the cold for now, protesters have announced they will continue until the, the month i'm. it's time to take a look at out some more stories making headlines to the world's richest fine eel on most cars, again, expressed support for germany's far right. if the party saying is the only party capable of saving the country, most opinion piece appeared in a german newspaper of ed times on tag the arch and gold sparked 8 backlash prompting the newspapers. opinion editor toni

on the other hand, there are more than 1120000 people who support a georgia dream for parties plus the richest n g o's together cannot gather even 2000 people. this is the real situation, which is very good for our country in georgia. the my don failed and will never happen. well, has it failed, as the routing party says? well, i think you can look behind me to say that this move, which sydney doesn't have the inputs and the push that he did 2 weeks ago. yeah. before the parliamentary elections, it was the results that the e you wanted at lucky and brussel as well as quick the point thought i'd has there been any reaction in that regard to today's vote? that rate, that reaction of the yeah. as you said, the use already said that a believe the election supplementary elections in october were illegitimate, and it's been cooling, consistency for new elections in the country, supporting those close by the current incumbent president of georgia. now in regards to 2 days election, we understand that the e u is looking to list some members of the routing policies in a sanctions least on monda

he has said that the accusations of georgia dream is made about the west interfering is not true. and she says georgia's per remains towards the renewal up in the you does not obliged. europe offers paving the way for equal partnership prosperity and common values. europe does not intimidate, does not use threats. the whole europe does not seek to sell chaos. europe does not seek to destabilize or subjugate its neighbors. for war or hybrid means the e. u does not dictate what national interests are, in particular, it respects the territorial integrity of georgia. well, the e u is wielding power if it lists members of georgia dream on its sanctions on monday. that is exactly what it is. do we know the baltic states have already made sanctions to some members of the ruling policy already? so it wouldn't be a surprise if we do see those names on monday as we understand the realities. now, we are about 2 weeks away from when the presidential office should be doing with the incumbent, giving to the newly elected president. that could be a pinched point. because the question then is, wil

the the, the, the candidates from the really georgia dream par, to you, me go, you know, a couple less really has just been elected president of georgia and marks the 1st time. and electoral college in parliament determined that countries ahead of state we go live to the police seat for more on this in moments. also a head on the program today. the idea for pointedly phones to survey and ports on the damascus region. while the as really defense ministry instruct strips the brace for a winter in the buffer zone in the country side. do you politicians urge display syrians living in europe to return home with some even offerings in cash incentives? the refugee say they fear for their life. it isn't in the holland. tissues are calling for 1000 euros to be given to syrians. i think that's a terrible idea. the situation in syria is just as dangerous as it was before the welcome to the we can use world update here in our teacher national. let's get into our top story this saturday. and today's breaking news, a candidate from the ruling party in georgia, has just been elected president this sa

but they also have to increase costs on the georgia dream. there are various options that the table you can have diplomatic coach or the or, but also sanctions. it is also very important that you send a signal or you need to you so far. we have not seen a statement of the 27th member states, and that's the problem. as the west side alone, a nearly a century has the state of the french overseas region of my up in the indian ocean . at least 11 people have been killed as high winds and heavy rain pounded the remote islands, rescue as are now being rushed in by and see to help with recovery efforts. cycling sheeter bottled into the island of my office in the early morning. heavy rains and strong winds created devastation, causing floods flipping of loose and destroying combs. so to say it's the west still 90 years. see close to the cycling of unexpected violence. the winds of over 200 kilometers an hour. public facility is badly damaged or destroyed. basically to see what kind of design and the medium term is for the subject, maya water and food

this is exactly what he considers as the oligarchs dream, although his part is called the georgia dream. but what he has done is an oligarchs 3. and also it is a russian dream. like you mentioned a yes, a hooting views event, sri and he's reaching as he's revenge on the freedom loving georgians who tried to break away from his cereal fluids and who basically are getting in a way of his project of making russia great again or the project that is supposed to substitute his inability to deliver the quality of live life standards to his citizens. and he's now basically replacing a decent living for russians by installing this idea of great to russia events. really, of course, he is. the only god choose founded the georgia dream pot to which one the october elections. there are question marks over how free that the environment and these elections we saw in an extra report that said that there was a lot of intimidation. but the o. s. the, the organization who sent observers the stop sort of course of declaring these elect since not free and said nobody's calling for a repeat of these election

and so one individual wearing the insignia opened a taurus, as of fatality, from ukraine and georgia, dream. the using valium, policy, you said some 30 percent of those who have been out in the protest. so, but the past 10 days are actually from a bruise, a not even from georgia. now, despite the fact that there was an investigation into these groups that are going was and teaching individuals in creating members of the press, george's a pro european president has said that she believes the violence is due to the georgia dream itself. let's have a listen to what she thought to say. the russian regime is back at work tonight until the lucy chasing civilians through the streets as they flee terror targeting politicians, media artist, breaking down the doors of opposition offices to raid and brutalized politicians inside the brutal regime of the georgia dream party no longer hides its true face, even on live tv, on thinkable and escalating terror against the media. violence and brutal beatings of journalist simply doing their job with the georgia employment of georgia, president invite isn't e

his election was fully content by the opposition as the routing georgia dream party type. insightsquared empowered also coming south korea's president is suspended after a vote to impeach him. you so kill, says he'll step aside, but won't give up as a court and i have considered some future impeachment decision the celebrated. and so, less than 2 weeks after you've botched marshal attempt the unpopular phone any as welcome to the program. we start in georgia where a former full border has been named is the country's new president and made a constitutional crisis retail. travelocity is seen as pro russian and is a hard line critic of the west. his election was boy cotton by the opposition to have described the process as illegitimate. this is george's new president. mckayla covet law should be li, a form of football players and right wing politician elected by a problem and largely controlled by the pro russian georgian drain potty. the authorization boy cost with the process describing it as quote, it legitimate meaning georgians protested outside the countries parliament. they believe t

many fee of the ruling georgia dream party is trying to move closer to russia. george's prime minister has rejected calls for new elections. tens of thousands of demonstrators surround the parliament in typically see most peaceful but as the police close in heavy fights for couch just as the nights before, the, the process response by the parliament's decision to suspend the totes and joining the european union, the prime minister eat our key cobra heat. so do you know if he's taking georgia of the past to you membership? what is the the response is very clear. so we have not suspended anything related to the integration system. what on that are the position leaders that are the media outlets linked was the position. what does this line police people but nobody is suspended. you work in integration of georgia. you're very much committed to the forgive me because you friend to your position forces accused the georgia dream policy of trying to tilt the country more towards russia. the position has been 40 coaching parliament ever since, disputed elections in october, and that's been call

void, contract by the opposition to describe the process as illegitimate, the ruling pro russian georgia. dream par, 2 times victories in a splintered election by in october georgia's current president. i'm not sure if there's any has received the don't you corresponding to i to say gosh, as team and i'll ski is into police and he tells me what happens next and have that entail cover last really has been elected as george's, you present. but probably the short term tonight we are expecting from you for the stairs to gather again to sort of $735.00 the problem in the building. and, and this time around, the government has also called on it's supporters to show up in front of the parliament for d, i'm veiling of the christmas tree there. so we are possibly going to have troll and on the safe spot best for now, the situation is told in the city, as you can see, the name of the street is still not is to open through traffic, but in the longer term, the next 2 weeks you observe this, let's go try to stand up between the incumbents pro you president and the government's develop. and she's supposed to

and the last 2 years we've seen the georgia dream positions coming out increasingly with the western nation. and she has a knowledge that she will not be office until new elections are conducted until a new parliament is there. and she has also the knows that she will not leave the presidential palace on december 29th when her term officially ends. so this is a very test situation here because the government of just the thousands wants to repeat the election and they also say that the president absolutely needs to vacate the, at the part of the presidential policy. so this is a very tight situation, and we are expecting a very she today for the, for this here today. to w correspondent, jaguar's shame on us key reporting from to please say thank you so much. i, the mazda celebrations, have taken place across syria to him, off the 1st friday prayers since the fall of the assault to day, to dictate, to ship the building. so affecting the use of conflict, have not yet begun to heal in the country. but the brutal tools of to renee have given way to songs of hope on the 3 stops log of a ne

and what's really interesting is that the georgia dream has spoken out again and again saying that what's happening in georgia now is reminiscent of what happened in crane was invited to back in 2014. because if you remember back then the was also supporting those protest movements. you members, we're also going to see you crate to support those protest movement. and it's interesting to see that the fact that the routing policies suggesting that there is a link between these 2 attempted cruise, they saying that that starts essentially what they trying to do in this country. and of course, the might include in 2014 uh, pulling down the democratically elected leader of ukraine at the time of georgia. dream is said, it is determined, absolutely determined that the same fate won't happen to its country. we heard from georgia, samuel, a senior research fellow with the global policy institute, think tank, he stays the west of approach to georgia is made by a double stand that's the west has made it a habit to recognize only those elections that result in the pro western candidates winning, even

he'll never be and presidents with georgia, the georgia dream will never be the force of the country because they're not in the government to provide me with upsets that 20 outgoing president. solomon's to levies really has cold on her supporters together in front of the presidential palace on sunday to continue to protest against the government. but not everybody agrees with the protesters as it to our new tyler and god knows doing the very good job and the side that there's no more in our country is the marriage of the government and no one else look at the situation around. there are wars everywhere . yeah, that's not the whole for now. protest as have announced they would continue until the end the month. um it of the israel's military says it's right on the come. i'll add one hospital in northern guys are, is now over at the operation, allegedly targeted a home us command center haven in the compound. israel says it's detained, the hospital director and 240 others as suspected hamas miller. since the world health organization says the raid has shut down northern guys's last majo
