00:00And we now move on to other topics.

00:02The Speaker of the South Korean National Assembly, Woo Won-shik, called the joint exercise of

00:08presidential power by the Prime Minister and the ruling party unconstitutional.

00:14This comes after Prime Minister Han Duk-so and the leader of the ruling People's Power

00:19Party, Han Dong-hong, vowed to minimize the chaos through an early and orderly departure

00:27of the president after announcing their decision to jointly exercise presidential power.

00:33He also criticized the ruling party for not participating in the constitutional due process

00:38of voting for a no-confidence motion.

00:42The Speaker of the South Korean National Assembly recalled that if the Prime Minister and the

00:46ruling party were to jointly exercise presidential power, they would be in flagrant violation

00:52of the constitution.

00:58It is a clear commitment that the Prime Minister and the ruling party will jointly exercise

01:02the right of the president, which no one else has given, without participating in the legal

01:07procedures that ask for the responsibility of the president.

01:12And also the President of the National Assembly of South Korea, Woo Won-shik, reminded that

01:17only the people can grant and remove presidential power and that the process must be governed

01:22by the constitution.

01:26I would like to start by saying that the legislation is not in the hands of the people.

01:31The president cannot decide the adoption of the power of the president.

01:34The power of the president and the adoption of the power of the president are both from

01:38the people, and the procedure must be in accordance with the principles of the constitution and

01:43the sovereignty of the people.

01:48In other news, in Burkina Faso, the President of South Korea appointed a former Minister

01:52of Education, Culture, Arts and Tourism, Riptal Vajin Emanuel Uedrogo, as new Prime

01:58Minister.

01:59This way, the President, Ibrahim Traore, dissolved the government and decreed on Friday the termination

02:05of functions of the former Prime Minister, Apollinaire Joachim Clem de Tembala, who served

02:11as head of three successive governments since 2022.

02:15The decree expresses that the Prime Minister's official functions are terminated, with the

02:20country's Secretary General of Government making the announcement.

02:23Burkina Faso, a previous French colony, has prioritized restoring national sovereignty

02:29and has frequently criticized Western powers.

02:40The President of Burkina Faso, head of state, in line with the constitution and the transition

02:46charter of October 14, 2022, and its amendment of May 25, 2024, decrees that Mr. Riem Tolbe

02:55Yeni Emanuel Uedrogo is appointed Prime Minister.

03:00And the former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, won the elections held this Saturday

03:05in the West African country and will take office as head of state for a four-year term.

03:11Mahama, candidate of the National Democratic Congress party, bit the candidate of the new

03:17patriotic party, the MPP, the current Vice President Mahmoudou Boumia, winning the presidential

03:23election.

03:25After the result was known, Boumia conceded the defeat and expressed his congratulations

03:30to Mahama for the victory, while expressing his full support for the transition process.

03:36Mahama served as the nation's president from the year 2012 to 2017.

03:41The first president born after Ghana's independence from the United Kingdom in 1957.

03:53And in other news, the Russian government denounced Ukraine's refusal to engage in

03:57dialogues on the conditions for peace negotiations.

04:01The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov detailed that the proposal for peace negotiations have

04:07already been presented by the Russian President Vladimir Putin, however, they have been repeatedly

04:13rejected by the Ukrainian side, whose authorities maintain their refusal to start talks.

04:19Recently, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by decree prohibited himself and

04:24his administration from any contact with the Russian Executive Cabinet to discuss diplomatic

04:29agreements.
