15.01.2025 โ‡ข The Night They Scaled The Palace Wall
โŒจSouth Korean authorities arrested President Yoon Suk Yeol after scaling barbed wire at his residence, marking the first arrest of a sitting president in the nation's history. The dramatic pre-dawn operation overshadowed morning reports of UK inflation unexpectedly dropping to 2.5%, which temporarily relieved pressure on Labour's economic strategy.

By midday, Linda Nolan's death at 65 dominated coverage, while Hamas and Israel moved closer to a ceasefire agreement. Initial reports of Hamas accepting terms were followed by Netanyahu's denial, creating hours of uncertainty.

Evening brought confirmation of a comprehensive ceasefire deal starting January 19th, with Qatar's mediation securing hostage releases and military pullback. Meanwhile, domestic politics centered on Starmer defending Reeves amid polling pressure and a growing controversy over the Chagos Islands handover plan.
