03.01.2025 ⇢ The Day Seoul's Military Faced Its Law
⌨
South Korean investigators' attempt to arrest President Yoon over martial law violations created a constitutional crisis as military units physically blocked law enforcement, leading to a morning standoff that ended with investigators suspending their operation.
Britain's weather crisis intensified as amber warnings predicted up to 40cm of snow and -7.4C temperatures. NHS trusts advised citizens to stay indoors and stock up on essentials. A seven-month-old baby died in an ice-related crash, prompting heightened safety concerns.
The New Orleans attack investigation shifted as FBI declared the suspect acted alone, contradicting previous day's speculation about connections to the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion. The evening brought historic sports news as 17-year-old Luke Littler won the World Darts Championship, defeating Michael van Gerwen 7-3 to claim the £500,000 prize.
