South Korea’s parliament votes to block martial law | BBC News
Lawmakers in South Korea have voted to block the president’s move to declare martial law, after both the ruling party and opposition vowed to obstruct the declaration.
The resolution requesting the lifting of martial law was passed with 190 of 300 members in attendance, with all present in favour.
President Yoon Suk Yeol had declared emergency martial law in the country in a surprise late night television address, calling it necessary to protect the country from North Korea’s communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements.
Large crowds have been clashing with police outside the South Korean National Assembly since the unexpected announcement.
Martial law means rule by military authorities in a time of emergency, and can mean the suspension of normal civil rights.

US President Donald Trump said he will extend the ceasefire with Iran until talks between the two countries have progressed.
He also said the blockade of Iranian ports will also continue until Tehran presents a “unified proposal”.
The status of the US-Iran talks had been unclear with the current ceasefire previously due to expire this week.
The BBC’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC’s Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.

A series of antisemitic attacks have targeted Jewish sites across the UK – from petrol bombs thrown at synagogues to Jewish charity ambulances set on fire.
A group named Harakat Ashab al‑Yamin al‑Islamia has claimed responsibility online. Counter‑terrorism police are now investigating potential links to Iran. But what do we know about who’s behind this seemingly co-ordinated effort?
This investigation looks at why many of those charged over the attacks are teenagers, and asks if foreign states are paying local criminals to carry them out.
