Demi Moore wins her first major acting award. As we record this podcast, South Korea's impeached President Yoon Seung-yool looks set to evade arrest once again. Prosecutors have been unable to execute a warrant which is due to expire shortly. It was issued over the president's short-lived attempt to impose martial law last month.
Mr Yoon has been suspended but has remained defiant, and his security guards have been blocking attempts to detain him, even forming a human chain. Police have been asked to get involved, but they have declined. The latest twist in the political standoff coincides with a North Korean missile test, as well as a visit by the outgoing US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Seoul.
He has expressed confidence in South Korea's democratic system.
