You're listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on 31st December 2024 on Monocle Radio.
Hello, and a warm welcome to the Briefing coming to you live from Studio one here at Midori House in London.
I'm Emma Nelson.
And coming up on today's program, for the first time in the country's history, an arrest warran is issued for South Korea's sitting president.
We'll bring you the latest.
Also ahead, after such positive signals, why are ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel on the verge of collapse?
Plus, it'll be a silent new year in at least some of Belgrade, where campaigners also claim the mayor is off his trolley with his public transport plans.
Find out more with Monocle's man in the Balkans.
That's me, Guy Delaunay.
We'll hear more from Guy Delaunay a little later on.
And we have a really busy schedule next year.
I think it's probably that the most amount of print magazines that we've done in a year.
So I'm just very happy that we, we are still able to give the print space to photojournalistic stories.
Monocle explores 2024 through its photojournalism and looks ahead to next year, too.
That's all coming up right here on the Briefing with me, Emma Nelson.
A court in South Korea has approved the issuing of an arrest warrant for the impeached President Yoon Suk.
It's the first time in the country's history Yun is subject to a criminal investigation into his brief declaration of martial law at the start of the year.
Well, I'm joined now by Aidan Foster Carter, who's honorary Senior Research Fellow in Sociology and Modern Career at Leeds University here in the United Kingdom.
A very good afternoon to you, Aidan.
Good afternoon, Emma.
