 Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news elements from around the world, our headlines. Iraqi court issues arrest warrant against US President Donald Trump over al-Muhandist assassination. South Korea court orders Japan to compensate women forced into sexual slavery during World War II. Ghanaian President Nana Akufo orders warring for second term amid opposition protests. And finally, Trump acknowledges Biden's victory as US Democrats call for impeachment after a Capitol Hill attack. In our first story, an Iraqi court is issued an arrest warrant against US President Donald Trump over the killing of deputy commander of the popular mobilization force Abu Mehdi al-Muhandist. Al-Muhandist was killed along with Iranian commander Qasim Soleimani in a US drone strike near Baghdad airport in January 2020. The warrant was issued on January 7th on charges related to pre-militated murder, which carried the death penalty. Family members of al-Muhandist had filed a case in the Rosafa investigation court in Baghdad. The court released a statement saying that the warrant had been issued after the completion of a preliminary investigation. Iraq is called the assassinations of Soleimani and al-Muhandist by the US while in Iraqi territory a violation of its sovereignty. The assassinations have also been deemed a breach of international norms on the extra-territorial use of force by a state according to a UN expert on extrajudicial killings. Now the Iraqi parliament proceeded to pass a resolution demanding the withdrawal of all US troops from the country following the assassinations. It is now the second country to issue a warrant of arrest after Iran. Iran issued a red notice request to the Interpol on January 5th for the arrest of Donald Trump in 47 American officials. The Interpol is yet to respond to the request and it previously denied a similar request in June 2020. The international body has stated that it cannot intervene in matters seemingly motivated by political, military, religious or racial considerations. In our next studio district court in South Korea today, ordered Japan to compensate 12 women who were forced into sexual slavery by its military during World War II. The Seoul Central District Court has ordered Japan to pay a compensation of KRW 100 million won, which is approximately $91,000 to each survivor. Six out of 12 women have died since the initiation of the case in 2016. This is the first civilian legal case filed in South Korea against Japan with former victims of sexual slavery who were euphemistically referred to as comfort women. Advocate Kim Gang-Wong, who represented the 12 women, has stated that he is deeply moved by this monumental victory. Japan's estimated up to 200,000 Korean women were forced into sexual servitude in Japanese military brothels during the Second World War. Since 1992, survivors have been demanding justice and reparations and have held weekly Wednesday protests outside Japanese diplomatic missions in South Korea. Presiding judge Kim Jong-un stated today that Japan had violated international norms by systematically, deliberately and extensively committing a crime against humanity. The ruling has also denied sovereign immunity to Japan. The Japanese government has stated that it does not recognize the authority of the court and has warned of the impact on diplomatic ties. Tensions have arisen between South Korea and Japan over war reparations, including the effective nullification of a 2015 agreement for compensation by South Korean President Moon Jae-in. In our next story, President Nana Akufo Ado of Ghana has been sworn in for a second term in office after the inauguration of the 8th parliament. The ceremony took place following major clashes between the ruling new patriotic party and the opposition National Democratic Congress over the election of the House Speaker. The NDC has also contested the presidential election results and subsequently boycotted the swearing-in ceremony held on January 7th. The 7th parliament of the 4th Republic of Ghana was officially dissolved at midnight on 6 January. As per Ghanaian law, members of the 8th parliament would elect the speaker who would then officially swear in the nameslaters. The voting process was disrupted multiple times before NPP member-elect Carlosa Hankora snatched uncounted ballot papers and attempted to flee the chamber. Confrontations between the NPP and the NDC were followed by armed security personnel storming the chamber. Tensions had been high after the parliament clerk prohibited an NDC MP elect from participating in the process due to an injunction order. The NDC caucus alleged that the NPP members had violated the secret voting process by sharing their votes with the party leader. The ruling party NPP has a slim majority in parliament with 137 seats while the NDC has 136 seats. As the chamber was restored to order, NDC member Alban Bagpin was officially elected as the speaker of the House. Once the parliament had been officially convened, President Akufo Adu was sworn in by the Chief Justice. In the meantime, opposition leader John Mahama has petitioned the Supreme Court to order a second election on the grounds that no major candidate secured a greater than 50% majority necessary to win the presidency. And finally, you look at the developments in the United States one day after the riot in Washington D.C. where the Capitol building was stormed. Democrats are calling for President Donald Trump to be impeached for inciting and condoning the breach of the Capitol. A few Trump staffers and key officials, including cabinet secretaries, have reportedly resigned. With just two weeks left in office, Trump has now promised nobly transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden on January 20th. Here is a video feature of the developments yesterday. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of the state of Delaware has received 306 votes. Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 232 votes. I joined the Senate Democratic Leader in calling on the Vice President to remove this President by immediately invoking the 25th Amendment. If the Vice President and Cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment. I know you're pain. I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. We love you. You're very special. You've seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are hurt. I'd like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness, and mayhem. It doesn't seem like the police were complicit. The police were complicit. The police participated in this attempted coup on the U.S. Capitol. The police moved barriers for white supremacist terrorists. The police helped white supremacist terrorists make it down the steps. They took selfies with them, right? So I think it was telling. It wasn't shocking. It was telling. And I think that we need to remember who police are, who side they stand on, and not be shot. What we're calling for is not police brutality and police violence against folks. What we're saying is if they could be disrestrained when white supremacist terrorists are actually attempting a coup, then we don't want to hear another word about why police had to shoot and kill a 16-year-old AJ Weber. Why they had to murder my 14-year-old cousin Andrew Joseph III. There is such a long history of this type of behavior, yet all we heard last night in Congress was, this is not America, this is not America, this is not who we are. How do you respond to that? This is absolutely America. America is based on white supremacy. It was built on white supremacy. Every single institution and system within this country is a white supremacist system. And so this is absolutely America. Now it might not be the America that we want it to be. We might have wished and hoped that it would be something different, but every single black person in this country knows that this is what America is to us and has been to us. America is built on the stolen land of Indigenous people and the stolen labor of African people. That means that white supremacy is the bedrock of this country. That the storming of the Capitol very American, I mean it's as American as Donald Trump, who I've maintained for a while is a very honest expression, perhaps one of the most honest expressions of the ugliness of Americanism and to treat either him as an individual or the movement that has coalesced around him as some kind of aberration instead of illustrating centuries of white supremacy and capitalist exploitation, I think is to either be delusional or outright dishonest. That's all we have time for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from around the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.
