French government on verge of collapse

A no-confidence vote is expected to bring down the government.

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier could be ousted in a no-confidence vote on Wednesday, just three months after being appointed to run the government by President Emmanuel Macron. We are live in Paris for analysis and reaction.

South Korean opposition legislators have formally introduced a motion to impeach the President, Yoon Suk Yeol, for ordering martial law. We speak to our colleague from BBC Korean and get reaction from Seoul.

We hear from some of the women in the BBC’s list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2024.

Presenters: Mark Lowen in Paris and Krupa Padhy in London.
