world questions: south africa.rom cape town, south africa, this is world questions from the bbc world service. a country rich in potential, weighed down by history, south africa faces mighty challenges. can its new coalition rise to the occasion? welcome to the homecoming centre in district six, just round the corner from city hall, where nelson mandela made his famous speech after decades as a political prisoner. "our march to freedom," he said, "is irreversible." 30 years after democracy was established and the rainbow nation proclaimed, the golden glow of those times seems distant. this is the largest economy in africa — a country rich in minerals and metals. huge strides have been made. a peaceful transition followed when the african national congress lost its majority for the first time this year. but the country is deeply unequal. crime is rampant. six out of ten young people are without a job. there is no doubting this country's potential, but the scars of division and poverty run deep, whilst crime and corr

so south africa has said they will arista, i guess we'll just black and south africa. i do see a few other countries to take us then, but we, we had so i understand those who don't necessarily take that's that. it's not that the not standing with the palestinians, but they are also looking at pieces around say, i advertise that they have with the wisdom. i just wanna qualify what point you just making that? yeah. so you said that only the of so just to south african citizens who served will be arrested on return. this i also applied to is waiting to a known south africa and citizens, but come south africa on holiday. well, just if you, if you try it and if you listen to what the for me. uh uh for the minutes of south africa's set um and her justification was saying that south african citizens were joined the idea of what we arrested was that was what the idea of was the region in palestine in south africa. it's considered, well cried in south africa, it's considered genocide. so be understanding not in south africa's a, any idea a soldier who lives in south africa will

it is not a bad decision to come to south korea.ent biden and their mission trying to do the foreign policy toward south korea and japan was correct, but the problem is, but the antony blinken visit comes at a time of change for both countries. donald trump returning to the white house onjanuary 20. so this is not really impacting both countries and alliance, but at least try to calm down and try to express a stable relationship between the us and south korea alliance. how do you see this situation resolving? this trend is reversible. constitutional court impeach, i am sure almost 100% they will pass the impeachment then, the problem is until then. then president yoon can try to buy time, delay. they are using delaying tactics. i don't think they will reverse the trend. stephen costello from the institute for korean studies at george washington university explained to me how he expects things to play out in seoul over the next few weeks. the pace, the direction of this seems rather unstoppable. the constitutional court, will be able

we have to remember most people in south korea, 70% of the south korean population, is in favour of hisnd lawful measures against him. so we'll to have see. it includes this arrest warrant. what do you think will happen? there's a deadline of six january for this arrest warrant. that's the time constraint in place. do you think he'll be addressed before then? i was watching the live stream. actually the arrest is imminent. i think it will happen today or tomorrow. don't mess with koreans, they run things very fast. but there's a great ramification for korea's democracy in the next few days. there's already discussions about constitutional reform and judicialjustice and there's too much power in the presidential office. and there's also talks about, you know, changing from single—term five years to double four—year terms. it will turn out to be a great thing at the end of the day, president yoon is going, an impeachment motion is cited, but these things are really happening fast. in the next few months, we'll see if yoon is still staying in power or new election for a new president. than

[laughter] he had just wrapped up a segment with new york governor andrew cuomo -- [crowd booing] -- where he asked cuomo to give me some advice on how to deal with covid.

what does this mean for south korea both internally and how countries elsewhere in the world see southyour 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 the coi corruption investigation office doesn't have an authority to look into the insurrection charges. so that whatever the coi tries to do, it is illegal and invalid. there are other legal issues that his officers tried to bring end so there are a lot of issues that when you think about, in terms of whether the current process is rule inspired, according to the rule of law, and whether it is by the procedure that is necessary to the democratic country. externally, obviously this is raising a huge risk that the country. this political crisis has already raised a lot of incoming risk. we saw last december that the dollar, the korean currency has plunged to its low

this is the political drama that south korea find itself in right now. many countries around the world who view south korea as a solid democratic ally in this region watching on as well. >> it is really interesting you should mention that. i remember when donald trump was elected, we were covering his election here and that what -- what that would mean for the region. i was in t japan, there were some political turmoil, saying it was a stable democracy, so what would it mean for the presidency in his approach? if you had asked me or anyone following the region a couple months ago, saying south korea would descend into this political division, political chaos, no one could have expected this. there was all that tension brewing within president yoon's camp, his opposition, especially with the opposition, and that they have won an astounding majority. but it remained within the tense clashes of korean democracy, no one imagined it could have descended into this. everyone looking on will be looking on with great woerle. south korea has a lot more to worry ab

south is furious. even some of some southerners colleagues are furious, douglass says that -- fool is going to get himself killed by another -- fool. the person who's most offended by this is a congressman or representative from south carolina, edgefield, south carolina, named preston brooks. who had come over to the chamber to hear the first day of the speech and read the second day of the speech. brooks is furious not just because sumner, after his fellow politician from the same state, but that andrew butler was brooks's second cousin. family. so brooks is wrestling it. how do i avenge butler's honor? what do i do here to sumner. so, you know, he and a couple of his colleagues think about it. how about i challenge him to a duel? no, no, no. his colleagues say duels are reserved for gentlemen. sumner does not rise to the level of gentleman in a duel is too good for him. brooke. brooks says, how about i just call him outside? we settle this like men. his friends say sumner won't come. he will tell you
