our korean counterparts at every level. >> reporter: in an interview with lester last year, president yunned the north korean threat was growing. >> do you think that the u.s. is passing -- paying enough attention to deterring a north korean attack on the south?

we were not notified of president yun�*s of president yoon�*s announcement in advance.s from the streets of seoul, outside the streets of seoul, outside the parliament building. let others take you inside the parliament building, parliamentarians, lawmakers still there, it's just gone for a him in south korea. they come very quickly, responded to the declaration of martial law by president yoon, by voting it down, but as we have been reporting, the military saying it will only lift martial law if that order comes from the president, but parliamentarians in the meantime are staying in the parliament building overnight. they want to be ready to respond to whatever comes next. joining me now alessio patalano, a professor of war and strategy in east asia at kings college and jean h lee, former ap seoul bureau chief and adjunct fellow at the east—west centre in honolulu. welcome to both of you, thank you very much forjoining me on the world today. i'll begin with you, that's the question, what might happen next? your thoughts? _ what might happen next? your thoughts? well, _

what we're waiting for now is to see what the president yun sun says next.other declaration to the military, if he has a message for law enforcement, but by the constitution, through the laws of south korea, the president has to abide by what the national assembly has just done his parliament or excuse me, president yun sun kyung lah cabinet pam has to meet to rubber stamp what the national assembly just did. so we're waiting for that. we're waiting to see if yun sun will acknowledges what has happened here at the moment. it's starting to be a little more calm, but people are gathered to pick up their loved ones and to make their voices known. so many people have told us pam, that this is unacceptable. this is not what democracy in east asia is all about. from their points of view pam. >> yeah, the first time the president of south korea has declared martial law in the democratic area. i mean, this is just extraordinary mike valerio, i know you're going to stay on top of it. it's 1:55 a.m.. look at all that activity behind him as this continues to unfold. th

mike, now that the order has been lifted, what happens well, we're waiting to hear from president yun sun, a conservative politician known in south korea for years as strong prosecutor who takes a hard line against north korea. >> we're waiting to see what he says to the country. jake why he took us down this road and what he can say to justify why he instituted martial law for the first time since 1980. now, to set the scene, the tableau. we're just a couple of yards away from the national assembly. the heart of government here in seoul, where most of this saga went down after the president's announcement over my right hand shoulder, we have a banner that says, now impeach yun sun in korean. and then as after we zoom in and show you that banner, let's come over to my left and you can see well before sunrise. jake, we still have people, grandmas kids, students canceling work, canceling school, staying here in freezing temperatures, not going anywhere until president yoon steps down bringing you back to america. jake, as you mentioned crucial for stability here in this country where we

we heard this morning from the leader of the dpp and he said that yun must be suspended. take a listen yesterday i said i would work to prevent this impeachment from passing in order to protect citizens and supporters from damage caused by unprepared chaos however, considering the new facts that are coming to light i judge that an immediate suspension of president yoon suk yeol official duties is necessary to protect the republic of korea and its people. now, those new facts, this credible evidence that yoon had ordered the arrest of key politicians on anti-state charges, including han, who was just speaking as well as other members of his own party. and han believes that if yoon stays in office, he could declare martial law again. and that is why you have seen these lawmakers camping out in the national assembly. but look any notion that this could happen again, it was ruled out by the special warfare commander earlier today who said he would defy such orders. but look, this is a clear indication that yoon's own party is now prepared to impeach him. if you remember yeste

that i have spoken to over recent hours were questioning what exactly was the reason that president yun sun abbe lowell decided this was a necessary move i mean, what he said publicly, was it was against communist forces in north korea that the shameless, pro-north, anti-state forces. but his reasoning didn't really point to north korea at all. his reasoning was political. he was speaking about the opposition party, the fact that it had been impeaching some prosecutors, it had been blocking bills which yun sun wanted to put through because the opposition has been in control really, it's had the majority in parliament since earlier this year, and has not in yoon's words, been allowing him to govern or to push through the legislation that he wanted to. so i think the overwhelming feeling at this point is that this was a very surprising military reaction. if you like to a political stalemate it's a very polarized country. south korea at the moment. the two sides, the two political stances are dead set against each other but interestingly, when it came to this martial law declaration, the p

yun sun stunning the nation. earlier tonight addressing south korea on television and saying because of his words, paraphrasing here north korean elements within government and within communist sympathizers within government he was declaring martial law but how he was declaring martial law and what specific elements that entailed remained unclear. stunning. so many people, so whole. multitudes of protesters came a couple of yards behind us to the national assembly to say, we got to cancel this. we have to overturn this declaration of martial law. and that is exactly what happened. members of the opposition party, the liberal democratic party were able to come back and vote by a simple majority in the legislature to overturn martial law. still astounding to say here in south korea so, dana, in terms of what happens next we're going to see the tableau, see how the president responds to this. but to bring in let's bring in you bring in the south korean perspective. we met you here on the streets. you're a south kore

he was prime nester before he took over after president yun was impeached after marshall on decemberen protests erupted outside national assembly. the impeachment means he will also be stripped of the powers and duties of the presidential gel the constitutional court decides to dismiss or reinstate him while the court is reviewing whether to uphold yun's earlier impeachment, finance minister will be the next interim president. he announced the government has ordered the military to step up vigilance raising the possibly north korea could take advantage of its political situation. this took a toll on the country's currency which dropped to its lowest point since march of 2,009. in the meantime, one hundred 80 days to decide whether to reinstate or remove him which if they decide to remove him they have to hold a presidential election within the next 60 days. a lot going on. we have to keep our eyes on it. ashley: absolute chaos. thank you for explaining that. is really intensifying strikes against the houthis in yemen. they hit infrastructure israel says the houthis used to bring iran

in anticipation of the vote people took to the streets calling on yun to step down which he says he won'tg what happened earlier this week. after he declared marshal law, yun declared the arrest of prominent political figures including the leaders of both the ruling and opposition parties. the chief of the army warfare command defied an order from the then defense minister to draw out lawmakers during marshal law operations. this is why what happened in south korea so notable remarkable. the military refused to follow the president's authoritarian orders. the lawmakers defied law. even grabbed a soldier's rifle, ordinary people took to the streets in the freezing cold in defiance. in an era where democracy is happening worldwide, is a reassuring writer that it is people who will fight to preserve it. that is all it for the week. alex wagner starts tonight. good evening. >> it's kind of like the spiritual inverse of brexit. ooh, maybe here. ooh, maybe here. maybe. >> i love the opposition spokesperson with the hand

so as you mentioned, yun sun is saying okay, we're going to lift martial law not happening anymore. why there seems to be this sort of delay so he institutes this declaration about 1030 local time, takes the country by incredible surprise this breathtaking announcement and then all of these legislators come back to the national assembly and unanimously vote to say, you know what? we're going to suspend this crazy idea paraphrasing what so many of them have said during the overnight hours it takes the entire cabinet of the presidency to come back and sort of rubber stamp the parliament's decision. so that's why we're kind of in this, you know wait and see. space of is this official? is it not? but such a degree of relief now that the president has said, all right, i as soon as we go through the motions of getting the cabinet together martial law will no longer be in place across south korea. just a stunning development when this place has been such a bastion of democracy across east asia. so what we're expecting to see in the next few hours. the main question boris and brianna, what

subway walls are only for two things: mysterious piss stains, and ads for shen yun., but those concubines sure can boogie! and who are these people writing their deepest feelings on a train platform? the only subway thoughts i have are "is that guy shitting?" and, "why am i being stabbed?" in that order! but if writing post-its is a little too subtle, you can react to the election loss the american way: violence. >> rage rooms have seen a spike in business since the election. it's a place where you can go in, smash plates, televisions, anything else you can find to let off steam. >> in fact, in the immediate days after the election, they say the number of reservations have tripled. a unique way... [crashing] to smash away that stress. [crashing] >> look out, everyone! the libs are pissed, and they're coming for grandma's fine china. democrats can't even get mad correctly. conservatives storm the capitol. meanwhile, democrats are like, "are these crowbars ethically sourced?" when shit gets bad, you don't smash things like a toddler, you let it eat away at you from the

we saw the leader of the people's power party, president yun's own party, come out today and change hispposition in their impeachment. he's been in there meeting with his own legislators all day today, and apparently has been having difficulty in persuading them to come behind him to support the impeachment motion. so this is still a very fluid situation. also, as you said just then, very odd that we're now, what, 60 hours since the lifting of that martial law order, but nothing — we've heard nothing from president yoon. he appears to be holed up in the presidential building on the other side of the river from here. we don't know what's going on in his mind, but he certainly has told the leader of his own party that it's not time for him to speak to the public or to legislators here yet. so he seems to be, there's some sort of siege mentality going on there, and he'sjust holed up in his presidential office. here in the uk a rare red warning for wind, which warns of significant disruption and a "danger to life", has been issued by the met office for parts of wales and south west england

there's a nuclear chain of command that ends with whomever is in office, we know jee-yun ping, and pewrld leaders, spoke with biden, and kamala harris as well and sized them up and decided they could get away with whatever they want to get away with. the ayatollah in iran knew it was open season in taking americans and getting billions in return for them. back to the nuclear chain of command, it's not beyond the realm of the president to have to make these life or death decisions on behalf of the country, and if he wasn't cognitively able to attend meetings or give press conferences, was he able to make those decisions, we need to know who knew about this behaviour and enabled this behaviour, we're talking about the leader of the free world, in an era, we have two presidents, trump and biden who said we're in geopolitical competition with russia and china, it takes for one little thing to happen in the south china sea or in the philippines, for america to end up at war with china, and who would be at the wheel making those decisions, we don't know. we don't know who would have been in

the backdrop for president yun's martial law announcement was two and a half years of deadlock between the liberal opposition and the conservative president. the opposition accused him of using the government's powers to attack his opponents in the media. he accused the opposition of misusing its powers by trying to impeach members of his administration. in france, the story is different, but it rhymes. president macron has been trying to push through reforms in that country for years, many of which have triggered intense opposition. his last major round, which raised the age at which state pensions kicked in, could only be enacted through a rarely used procedure that bypassed parliament in the last elections. his centrist political party was decimated and parliament is now dominated by the far right and left. they conspired to bring down the current prime minister. the common theme is that people increasingly do not trust traditional democratic institutions and the elites who run them. in a 2023 pew survey, a stunning 85% of u.s. adults polled said that elected officials quote, don't

. >> 100%, president yun, seemed almost he snapped under the pressure, various investigations, impeachmentpeople. i think he's lost what the chinese would call the mandate of heaven, he's lost his legitimacy. i don't think he survives politically to be perfectly honest here. the good news is that there are resilience of korean democratic institutions, i remember when i used to go there as a young man, i would visit campus in every trip i took, it would end up with tear gas because students would be protesting against the military leadership. a robust democracy after four decades, it's one of the world's, what, 10 or 12 largest economies, it's a real ally. basically this is good news. the only thing that i worry about a little bit is the orientation of the next leadership of south korea. south korea has been quite robust in recent years, and being, you know, moving closer to japan. being a partner with us on the peninsula. being a partner to some extent against china, and i think the question is will south korea have the band width, given its internal challenges, what will be its focus. aga

>> and this was yun received by the white house with a state dinner not too long ago. >> reporter: presidentears shoring up relationships in the region. fostering alliances with japan, south korea, the philippines. so this throws those loyalties into question, especially at a time when there will be a president coming into the white house who isn't as enthusiastic about regional alliances. so there is some geopolitical anxiety that's stemming from what's happening here and certainly a lot of questions about his next move and what it means for south korea. >> thank you so very much. appreciate it. of course, we're waiting on that nypd update on the fatal shooting of the united healthcare ceo. we will bring it to you as soon as it begins. you are watching jose diaz-balart reports on msnbc. wa diaz-balart reports on msnbc been using toilet paper that doesn't hold up. hold it, mister! here's new charmin ultra strong. it cleans better*, you can count on it. new charmin ultra strong has a diamond-weave texture that's more durable and it cleans better* so you can use less. ahh, much better. hey! yo

so we had our president, president yun, impeached. then we had an acting president. he's been impeached. so we have another acting president. so we have three people who have held presidential powers within one month alone. so he signaled earlier in the morning, the acting president here today that all resources within that locality, southwestern portion of south korea, need to be marshaled because one could certainly make the argument that people are acutely affected by all the chaos that has befallen south korea in the month of december. so we saw that declaration very early on, just a few minutes after images of the catastrophe began to emerge from the presidential office in seoul, saying that all available resources make sure you bring them out to the tarmac of the airport to make sure that everybody who can be saved certainly gets all the attention that they possibly can. so we're working through reporting as to who the two people saved are. it appears as though they are crew members found in the back of the aircraft, where the tail section is. two thai national

president yun's martial law decree only lasted around six hours. he withdrew it before the sun even came up on wednesday. >> and now the opposition is calling for his impeachment opposition lawmakers are pushing for a vote to oust the president as early as thursday, while his chief of staff and defense minister have both submitted their resignations. yoon's aborted power play barely affected business in the korean capital. >> and at the airport international flights also faced no disruptions but there is anger among some ordinary koreans. >> what would you like to say to president yoon? you 24 year old kim haneul came here straight after working an all night shift at a convenience store. >> if you don't speak up as a citizen who lives in korea, then he will keep repeating the same situation and it will be more harder and harder for us to deny him as our president calls now, for candlelight vigils across the country and a protest march through the capital. >> what are you chanting here? >> yeah, yeah, to arrest the president. >> are you angry at pre

josh i mean yun pulls off this baffling move on december 3rd that lasts all of a matter of hours. but the political crisis, it's very clearly triggered only seems to be getting worse, not better. what do you think of this? >> yeah, it's really crazy. kate. >> the president of south korea attempted a military coup, failed, and is now clinging to power. >> and he might actually succeed. he might actually be able to stop his own removal. and. sound familiar? you know, this is the beginning of south korea's political crisis, because what's going to happen now is it's going to take months for them to sort this out. and while that happens, south korea is going to be politically rudderless and the country is just in complete turmoil. i think in the end, my prediction is that the president will have to go. the people want him gone. he faces criminal charges. but how we get there could be a long and winding road, and we just don't know exactly how that's going to happen yet. >> and i think what happens during that long and winding road is an important one. when you're looking from the unit

going back to this speech that happened just about two hours ago, televised to the nation, president yun sun writing that he is taking these measures to, quote, safeguard a liberal south korea from the threats posed by north korea's communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements. now, jim, at this hour, as we now cross over at 12:01 a.m. wednesday, local time here in the heart of seoul, it is unclear what exact measures this president will take here to implement martial law. south korea hasn't been under this kind of rule this kind of situation, since it was under the rule of military dictatorship in the 1980s. but i can tell you just living very close to here, our cnn bureau in the center of seoul, police officers are on their phones, jim, asking their superiors what is going on. family members are getting to loved ones homes as fast as they can at least in my neighborhood. and we have protesters who are gathering at the national assembly a couple of miles away from here, who are trying to bring this to a stop. we have lawmakers in the middle of the night from the opposition part

president yun, rumored to back down. and that's exactly what he did. and, you know, we'd all love to hear what those private messages to him were. >> david, i'm curious about the veracity of his claims. his justification for installing martial law, one of them being that pro-north korean operatives had infiltrated the state apparatus. now we've seen north korea conduct some international operations before. i think the sony hack is one example. kim jong un going after family members abroad murdering family members abroad. but is that a legitimate concern for the south korean government well, as i mentioned before, the statement said nothing about the stability of the south korean state. >> so are there north korean operatives or sympathizers in south korea? yes. of course. have there been since the war ended in 1953? yes, of course there have been. and so what he didn't do was make the connection about whether or not those influences were actually a true threat to south korea. and, you know, the only threat to south korea from the north that i can see i

yun sun said the moves were intended to quote, incite rebellion and accused opposition lawmakers of trying to destabilize the country this decision is a crime is this someone who we will let run this country? >> no will we let this slide no. >> oh it doesn't make sense. >> as far as i know, this is the first martial law declared since the gwangju democratization movement it is really happening in the 21st century. >> broken windows and rifle wielding soldiers standing at the national assembly building as tensions between the presidency and opposition lawmakers spills into mass protests. we're here in the crowd and there are two military vehicles that are trying to get out of here. we're just a few blocks away from the national assembly. there were some soldiers that were saying their military vehicles are trying to leave the area and get back to their base protesters, of course voicing their huge outrage and dismay at this moment. the extraordinary measure the president insists, was to do away with what he claims are groups sympathetic towards north korea. hours later, yoon, forced into re
