00:00
South Korean authorities suspended an attempt to arrest the impeached president Yoon Seok-yol
00:07
after an almost six-hour standoff with security forces.
00:11
The country's anti-corruption agency said it withdrew its investigators after the presidential
00:16
security service blocked them from entering Yoon's residence.
00:21
The events were the latest confrontation in a political crisis that has paralyzed South
00:25
Korean politics.
00:27
It began in early December when Yoon, apparently frustrated that his policies were blocked
00:32
by an opposition-dominated parliament, declared martial law and dispatched troops to surround
00:38
the National Assembly.
00:40
Parliament overturned that declaration within hours in a unanimous vote and impeached Yoon,
00:45
while South Korean authorities opened a criminal investigation into the events.
00:49
A Seoul court issued a warrant for Yoon's detention after he evaded multiple requests
00:53
to appear for questioning and blocked searches of his office, hindering an investigation
00:58
into whether his ill-conceived power grab amounted to rebellion.
01:03
Yoon has remained defiant, vowing to fight to remain in office.
