South Korea’s parliament has voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived attempt to impose martial law earlier this month.
Mr Yoon’s decision plunged the country into a constitutional crisis as soldiers clashed with protesters on the streets of the capital Seoul.
The state of emergency only lasted about six hours as parliament voted to block the decree.

The country’s opposition parties held a second vote today and needed two-thirds of the National Assembly to back the motion, meaning at least 200 MPs.
