00:00Top diplomats met in Jordan to discuss plans and goals in assisting Syria's transition
00:07from the deposed government of Bashar al-Assad.
00:10Ministers from the U.S., EU, Arab League and Turkey gathered in an attempt to forge a consensus
00:17on what new leadership in Syria should prioritize.
00:20However, no Syrian representatives were in attendance.
00:24Broad
00:47consensus reportedly exists that Syria's new government must be inclusive, must respect
00:52women and minority rights, reject terrorism and secure and destroy suspected Assad-era
00:58chemical weapons stockpiles.
01:06Turkey reopened its embassy in Syria, becoming the first country to do so since the end of
01:11Bashar al-Assad's rule last weekend.
01:17Footage released by the Turkish Foreign Ministry showed the Turkish flag being raised above
01:22the walled compound in the Syrian capital for the first time since diplomatic ties were
01:29cut in 2012.
01:31The embassy had suspended operations due to escalating security conditions during the
01:36Syrian civil war.
01:38Several countries maintained diplomatic ties with the regime during the 13-year conflict,
01:44while others reopened their missions in recent years as they sought to normalize relations
01:49with al-Assad's government.
01:53The Syrian insurgents who overthrew al-Assad last weekend did so with vital help from Turkey.
02:15In Georgia, an electoral college largely dominated by the ruling Georgian Dream Party
02:20has elected Mikheil Avelashvili, a former football player and a right-wing populist,
02:25as the country's next president.
02:27However, this election comes amid ongoing unrest.
02:31For over two weeks, anti-government protests have rocked the country, sparked by 2024 parliamentary
02:37elections and by the government's decision to delay Georgia's EU accession negotiations.
02:45Outgoing President Salome Zurabishvili has expressed solidarity with the demonstrators,
02:50who have faced violent crackdowns from the authorities.
02:54The authorities have targeted not only protesters but also opposition activists and journalists.
03:02Regardless, protests are ongoing in the streets of Tbilisi and other major cities of Georgia.

03:16South Korea has voted to impeach President Yun over his failed martial law attempt earlier
03:21this month.
03:22The motion passed with 204 votes in favor, 85 against, three abstentions and eight invalid
03:28ballots.
03:29It was the second impeachment vote in the space of a week.
03:54President Yun survived the first vote after the majority of the country's ruling party
03:58boycotted the motion, which means it did not reach the minimum 200 out of 300 votes.
04:06His presidential powers will now be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides within
04:11180 days whether to dismiss him as a president or restore his powers.
04:21The Italian government has granted citizenship to Argentina's President Javier Mele.
04:27Mele is in Rome to meet Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney and to attend her Brothers of Italy
04:32party's annual festival.
04:34On a previous trip to Italy, Mele said he felt 75% Italian as three of his grandparents
04:40were from Calabria.
04:42But the news has been met with anger on social media from people who say the children of
04:46migrants born in Italy find it hard to obtain citizenship.
