In Georgia, an electoral college largely dominated by the ruling Georgian Dream Party has elected
00:46
Mikhail Avelashvili, a former football player and a right-wing populist, as the country's
00:51
next president.
00:53
However, this election comes amid ongoing unrest.
00:56
For over two weeks, anti-government protests have rocked the country, sparked by 2024 parliamentary
01:03
elections and by the government's decision to delay Georgia's EU accession negotiations.
01:11
Outgoing President Salome Zurabishvili has expressed solidarity with the demonstrators,
01:16
who have faced violent crackdowns from the authorities.
01:20
The authorities have targeted not only protesters but also opposition activists and journalists.
01:27
Regardless, protests are ongoing in the streets of Tbilisi and other major cities of Georgia.

Tornike Koplatadze, Euronews, Georgia.
01:41
South Korea has voted to impeach President Yun over his failed martial law attempt earlier
01:46
this month.
01:48
The motion passed with 204 votes in favor, 85 against, three abstentions and eight invalid
01:54
ballots.
02:16
It was the second impeachment vote in the space of a week.
02:20
President Yun survived the first vote after the majority of the country's ruling party
02:24
boycotted the motion, which means it did not reach the minimum 200 out of 300 votes.
02:31
His presidential powers will now be suspended until the constitutional court decides within
02:36
180 days whether to dismiss him as a president or restore his powers.
02:47
Syrians have observed the first Friday prayer since the dramatic downfall of President Bashar
02:52
al-Assad.
02:53
The gatherings illustrate the dramatic changes that have swept over Syria less than a week
02:58
after insurgents marched into Damascus.
03:01
The main insurgent force, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has worked to establish security and start
03:06
a political transition.
03:08
The group has tried to reassure a public concerned about hardliners among the rebels.
03:13
HTS says it's broken with its extremist past, but it's still considered a terrorist group
03:19
by the United States and some European countries.
03:22
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with allies around the region and called
03:27
for an inclusive and non-sectarian interim government.
03:32
In Baghdad, Blinken met with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani, saying both countries
03:36
wanted to ensure the Islamic State group doesn't exploit Syria's transition to re-emerge.
03:47
Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukraine's energy infrastructure was hit by one of the largest
03:52
Russian attacks, but that the country's systems were being restored.
03:56
According to Zelensky, Russia fired 94 cruise and ballistic missiles and almost 200 drones
04:02
at Ukraine on Friday morning.
04:04
Eighty-one missiles were shot down.
04:07
Zelensky slammed the strikes as cynical Russian terror on the country's power facilities.
04:14
Russia fired at critical infrastructure in the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk, prompting
04:18
authorities to shut off power for central heating and hot water.
04:22
People say that according to preliminary information, Friday's strike is the largest
04:26
on the city since the start of the war.
04:29
And in the southern city of Odessa, authorities say air defences shot down all Russian missiles.
04:35
There was some damage to civilian infrastructure from falling debris, but no reported injuries
04:40
or fatalities.
