Its 9 00am in singapore. 1 00am in london and 10 00 in the morning in seoul, where south koreas impeached president , park geun hye, is due to find out if shell be permanently removed from office. An announcement by the Constitutional Court will be made in around an hours time. Ms park is embroiled in a corruption scandal, accused of allowing a close friend to profit from her connections with the presidency. If shes dismissed, a president ial election will be held within 60 days. However, the court could decide to reinstate her. 0ur correspondent Stephen Evans is in seoul with the latest. Stephen, remind us again about the accusations that got us to this point . A whole raft of accusations, 13 allegations in total. They range from the large, corruption, that she instigated corruption by trying to get a bribe, basically, from samsun, to her best friend, in return for influencing samsuns affairs. Down to the relatively minor, like where was she for eight hours when the say while ferry went down . So the eight justices will decide in an hours time, or publish their verdict in an hours time. But it will notjust be a verdict about whether they think she is guilty or not. It will also bea she is guilty or not. It will also be a verdict, and this is more important, on whether even if she was guilty of the crime Broke The Constitution. So they may decide, for example, that President Parks best friend had too much influence, one of the allegations. But actually, that isnt against the constitution. So there are two steps the justices have to make. Constitution. So there are two steps thejustices have to make. 0ne, did she do something wrong . And two . Was it so wrong that she Broke The Constitution and she should be stripped of power and kicked out of power pretty well immediately . So it isa power pretty well immediately . So it is a serious matter. In just under one hour, the chair of the justices will start delivering the decision, and what we expect is that she will go through the reasoning, and that the end of the tour, say you bought ina the end of the tour, say you bought in a and of it all, say yay or nay. I think it will come right at the end. I should say, there is a very big Police Presence on the streets of seoul this morning. You mention the Police Presence, we know there has been weeks of buildup around this. Protests pretty much every weekend. What is the mood on the ground . Every weekend. What is the mood on the ground . I think the mood is certainly split. No doubt about that. I think the bigger protests have been the anti President Park protests, but you cannotjudge the mood of a country by who comes out on the street with a banner. There have in probe park protests, but they have been much smaller. Been pro park. Her Popularity Ratings are pretty much at rock bottom. At low popularity is no reason to sack a president. That is not the way the constitution works. There has to be something more than that. Stephen, thank you. A look at some of the days other news.

The United States has confirmed its biggest deployment yet. A force is on the ground in syria to fight so called Islamic State. Several 100 marines have been sent to support an allied local force aiming to capture the Islamic State stronghold of raqqa. Earlier this week, the Islamic State stronghold of raqqa. Earlierthis week, kurdish and arab fighters launched an Offensive Cutting off a key route between dinosaur and raqqa. Earlier i spoke to lara become in washington and asked how risky the approach was for the Trump Administration. First of all, it is a more overt strategy than theyve had in the past. In the Previous Administration there were about 500 Special Forces working behind the scene, working with local forces, arming them, equipping them and training them to defeat the so called Islamic State. This are boots on the ground, this is a bigger footprint as well in terms of numbers on the ground. There is a danger of mission creep, so to speak. In some ways it could take two weeks, in some ways it could take two months, in some ways it could take two years. So there is a danger of getting further involved in syria. Remember that promise made by president 0bama no boots on the ground well, that is a reversal on that. And of course, us credibility is on the line and lives are on the line. There is a lot at risk here for the Trump Administration in this deployment. There is beyong that as well, arent there, laura, because we know theres Bitter Division dividing the various militias who are fighting is in syria. The us believes there is a particular Kurdish Force who are best placed to help them but turkey says they are a terrorist force, they are very much against them, so does the us also risk being dragged into another sort of debate . Yes, it is notjust a military strategy needed to defeat so called Islamic State. They need diplomacy here and they did it quickly. During the Senate Armed Service committee today, there was a question asked of the uss Top Commander in the region about how to ease tensions between ankara and these syrian militants. Syrian Democratic Forces have proved totally reliable for america in this fight against so called Islamic State. They have proved invaluable but ankara sees them as a cover for a Kurdish Militia force and they will not work with them so bringing these two sides together and senatorjohn mccain, the repoublican senator, asked if President Trump was aware of the diplomacy needed to bring these two sides together. And i quote, he told the Armed Services committee, unless something changes i foresee a train wreck here. So there are certain concerns about how to bring these two sides together. And very briefly, what is the significance of raqqa, specifically . This is the capital of Islamic State and this is where most of their jihadi fighters are thought to beat haste. There are thought to be thousands, 3000 4000 waste there. So it is an important strategic target for those trying to round up Islamic State militia. And of course, as you havejust Islamic State militia. And of course, as you have just mentioned, they have cut off the road to raqqa, so that is a target they want to get to at the moment. In the us, President Trump says he has removed himself from the day to day operations of his businesses. But has he done enough . His critics might point to his Mar E Lago Resort in florida where the fees have doubled since he won the election. And in indonesia, mr trump has signed a deal to build two resorts with a billionaire, worth about 1 billion in total. The bbcs Karishma Vaswani went to indonesia to ask mr trumps Business Partner about their relationship. Do you know who donald trump is . No, because im from indonesia. He is a president. Of america. Meet indonesias donald trump. Hary tanoesoedibjo is one of indonesias richest men. In 2015 he signed a billion dollar deal to build a trump tower in west java and the first trump resort in bali. You know, i know eric trump, i know ivanka, you know, and then i met with donjunior and then when we signed the agreement then the father came up, you know, come out and then we signed the agreement together. Just a few months after the deal was signed, donald trump announced he was running for president of the United States. It is a normal Business Relationship i have to underline this. And until today it is also a Business Relationship. The father sends you know, he is president of the United States, hes not involved in the business so i physically deal with the children. But mr tanoesoedibjo and his wife were given Vip Treatment at the us president s inaugural parade, they attended mr trumps swearing in and posted pictures of their time with him on their social media feeds. Are you consent in any way about the perception of there being a Conflict Of Interest now . There is no Conflict Of Interest. Conflict of interest may happen if the project is agreed when he is the president of the United States but this happened long before, actually, he even decided to run for president. But as president , mr trump has made some controversial decisions. Injanuary he signed a travel ban on people from seven muslim majority nations, revising that to six this week. Indonesia is not on the list but it is the worlds most populous muslim nation. Why would you want to work with someone who appears to have anti islamic views . Mr trump, hes not banning the muslims, hes banning the country, the people of those seven countries. I think we have to be very clear about that. Nothing to do with the muslim people. Mr tanoesoedibjo has set up his own Political Party and has already run for office once. And he has not ruled out being president of indonesia one day. Karishma vaswani, bbc news, jakarta.
