03.12.2024 ⇢ The Day Seoul's Parliament Defied Its President
⌨
South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in the morning, citing North Korean threats and "anti-state forces." The military blocked parliament access and censored media, but lawmakers defied the order, gathering to vote against it. By afternoon, protests erupted outside parliament as military helicopters landed on the grounds. The president's own party joined the opposition, leading to his retreat by evening.
The BBC pulled MasterChef Christmas specials following escalating allegations against Gregg Wallace, with new claims of inappropriate touching and exposure emerging throughout the day. Queen Camilla revealed her recent absence was due to pneumonia, as she missed the state visit of Qatar's Emir, which marked Princess Kate's return to official duties.
Reports continued on Syria's renewed conflict, with rebel forces holding Aleppo as Russia conducted Mediterranean missile drills in apparent support of Assad.
