A night of chaos in South Korea

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

There's been a night of chaos - and confusion - in South Korea. Over the space of a few hours, the country's president declared - then lifted - martial law. We're live in Seoul with the latest. Also tonight: The French prime minister has insisted he can survive tomorrow's no-confidence vote. We ask a former European Central Bank chief how serious the crisis is for the French economy - and what it means for Europe. We hear some rare voices of Israeli soldiers who are refusing to serve in Gaza. And a teacher-turned-TikTok star on the platform's pedagogical strengths.
