What we know:

  • All but three MPs of South Korea’s ruling party left parliament ahead of a vote on whether to impeach embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol
  • That means the bill fell short of the 200 members required to pass it, with the opposition needing eight MPs from the ruling People Power Party (PPP) to back it
  • Tens of thousands of people have gathered outside South Korea’s National Assembly in Seoul calling for Yoon’s removal
  • Earlier on Saturday, Yoon apologised for declaring martial law on Tuesday – a move that was quickly overturned by lawmakers- and said he would not impose it again
  • Read Tessa Wong’s report from Seoul on why Yoon’s declaration of martial law this week prompted such a visceral response in South Korea
